Event mesh

Create real-time situationally aware applications that scale with peak loads across all geographies by applying an event-based architecture.

What is an event mesh?

An event mesh is formed by using one or more event brokers that allow your applications to communicate asynchronously, in real-time, and reliably at scale.

Allow applications to communicate through asynchronous events and extend your digital core

  • Keep systems and people up to date when important updates occur to business data in core SAP and third-party solutions

  • Publish and subscribe to business events from SAP and third-party sources across hybrid, multi-cloud, and edge environments

  • Manage, monitor, and visualize decentralized event streaming across distributed landscapes

Frequently asked questions

Situational awareness is the ability for people and systems to understand the current state of business data and to quickly react and adapt processes as necessary.

An EDA is a software design pattern where software components within the system communicate with each other through events, which are messages indicating that a specific action has occurred or a particular state has changed.

An event broker is an intermediary component that facilitates communication between applications that produce event messages and applications that consume or listen to the events.

The key to an integration platform-as-a-service (iPaaS) is getting integration technologies to work together. Cloud integration supports mapping and transformation capabilities to make sure source data is converted correctly to the target data structures. API management enables secure access to APIs that are often used with transaction processing. An event mesh works best when combined with other iPaaS capabilities to orchestrate communications.
