EDA Platform

Event-Driven Architecture Platform Part of the Model Driven Unified & Governed Real-Time Data Platform Suite (GUM-RTDP) — Source-code licensed reference architecture

What It Does

The EDA Platform enables organizations to capture, process, and act on business events in real time. Rather than relying on batch processes that deliver yesterday’s insights, the EDA Platform makes your business event-driven — every transaction, customer action, and operational change becomes an immediate, actionable signal across your enterprise.

Two Deployment Modes

The platform supports two complementary event ingestion modes, giving organizations flexibility based on their existing systems:

  • Direct EDA Mode — applications publish business events natively to the event streaming layer
  • CDC Mode (Change Data Capture) — existing systems are instrumented via Debezium, with the Business Event Composer (BEC) reconstructing and normalizing business events from database changes, making them indistinguishable from Direct EDA events downstream

Working Reference Application

The platform is demonstrated through order_system_eda, an operational Order Management application covering the complete order lifecycle — from order request through pricing, approval, hold, and rejection. The reference application demonstrates:

  • Real-time event publishing in both Direct EDA and CDC modes
  • AI inference score consumption from the Speed Layer. This means:
    • order_system_eda publishes (order.received)
    • AI speed layer consumes order.received event and runs inferences
    • AI speed layer publishes the scored order (AI event)
    • order_system_eda consumes the AI event and evaluates if scores under threshold
    • order_system_eda places the order (order.placed) if true or places the order on hold (order.placed_on_hold) if false
    • It takes between .8 to 1.5 seconds for this full cycle
  • Configurable fraud and anomaly detection thresholds
  • A human review loop for flagged orders requiring manual decision

This is not a prototype — it is a working, deployable reference architecture delivered with source code. It comes with a container stack, database schema with content, kafka topics, event store table, utilities and demo & documentation.

Technology Foundation

Built on proven open-source components (Apache Kafka · Go · Python · Debezium) used by LinkedIn, Uber, Netflix and other Tier 1 organizations such as JP Morgan Chase, Target, Walmart, Shopify, Amex — individually. The GUM-RTDP is the only reference architecture that integrates all of them into a governed, enterprise-grade event-driven solution.

The EDA Platform is part of the GUM-RTDP suite alongside the Lakehouse Platform and Data Governance Platform. Source-code licensed for mid-market and enterprise deployment.
