Event-Driven Architecture: Trigger Agents from Kafka-Style Events, Not Polling
goyalshaliniuk · x · 2026-11-09
Pattern 3: instead of constantly asking an agent what to do next, let external events trigger its actions. Listen for events from APIs, databases, or message brokers, fire agent workflows when relevant events arrive, process asynchronously, and maintain state between executions — avoiding continuously running expensive model calls. Reference implementation: Apache Kafka.
