3. Implement Event-Driven Integration

Date: 2025-04-10

Status

Completed

Context

BelFoot FC has 20 software systems across 5 departments that need to exchange data. Point-to-point integrations would create an unmanageable web of connections and tight coupling between systems.

Decision

Implement Azure Service Bus as the central event-driven integration backbone. All systems publish domain events to topics, and interested systems subscribe to relevant events. An Integration Platform API handles message routing, transformation, and monitoring.

Consequences

  • Systems are loosely coupled through publish-subscribe messaging
  • New systems can subscribe to existing events without modifying producers
  • Dead-letter queues provide built-in error handling and retry capabilities
  • Data Platform ETL pipelines consume events for near real-time data ingestion
  • Requires operational monitoring of message queues and throughput
