If you use events within microservices, does that become an event-driven architecture? If you use microservices as event processors in an event-driven architecture, does that mean it’s now a microservices architecture? The answer to these questions is no, not necessarily. Even though we can combine these two architecture styles, microservices and event-driven architecture each have their own unique characteristics. In this lesson Mark Richards describes the differences between these two architecture styles and shows how they differ from one another.
