Integrating backend services with data engineering pipelines can be challenging with traditional methods like REST APIs and batch processing. Event-driven architecture (EDA) offers a robust solution through asynchronous event communication. For smaller teams, a hybrid solution such as using a Pub/Sub system (e.g., GCP Pub/Sub, Amazon SQS) can be effective. Define a standardized format for events and set up a single topic for all services to broadcast their events. Subscriptions determine which events to process, allowing for flexible, real-time communication without overhauling existing infrastructure.
