nounpl: event-based architectures

2. A distributed system design approach where state changes are captured as events and propagated across loosely coupled services
In an event-based architecture, when a user places an order, an 'OrderCreated' event is published to notify all relevant microservices.

This is a modern software architecture concept that emerged from cloud computing and microservices trends. In Brazil and Portugal, this terminology is primarily used in tech companies, startups, and among software engineers working with distributed systems. It's increasingly common in corporate environments dealing with real-time data processing and digital transformation initiatives. The term is typically used in English even in Portuguese-speaking technical contexts, though the Portuguese translations are gaining adoption in documentation and training materials.
