Event-Driven Architecture — Google Cloud Digital Leader Practice Questions
Event-driven architecture is a design pattern where services communicate by producing and consuming events, enabling loosely coupled, scalable systems. On Google Cloud, this pattern is realized through services like Pub/Sub, Eventarc, and Cloud Functions, which react to triggers rather than polling for changes. The Google Cloud Digital Leader exam tests whether candidates understand how event-driven designs improve responsiveness and scalability compared to tightly coupled request-response systems. Recognizing when this pattern is appropriate is a key part of demonstrating cloud-native thinking.
