Software development is increasingly embracing events and streaming data, optimizing not only how technology interacts but also how businesses integrate to meet customer needs. This phenomenon, known as flow, consists of patterns and standards that determine which activity and related data is communicated between parties over the internet. This book explores the critical implications of this evolution, such as what happens when events and data streams help discover new activity sources to enhance existing businesses or drive new markets. It also discusses the technologies and architectural patterns that can position companies for opportunities enabled by flow, such as event-driven systems and Wardley mapping visualization.

Enterprise architects, software developers, and product managers are guided through the process by James Urquhart, global field CTO at VMware. The book covers the benefits of flow dynamics when businesses, governments, and other institutions integrate via events and data streams, as well as the value chain for flow integration through Wardley mapping visualization and promise theory modeling. It also walks through basic concepts behind today's event-driven systems marketplace and explores why companies should architect and build software today to take advantage of flow in the coming years.

Overall, this book provides valuable insights into the future of software development and integration, and how events and streaming data can drive innovation and growth in the industry.
