The Future Of AI Agents Is Event-Driven
BigDATAwire, Wednesday, February 26th, 2025
AI agents are set to transform enterprise operations with autonomous problem-solving, adaptive workflows, and scalability. But the real challenge isn't building better models.
Agents need access to data, tools, and the ability to share information across systems, with their outputs available for use by multiple services-including other agents. This isn't an AI problem, it's an infrastructure and data interoperability problem. It requires more than stitching together chains of commands; it demands an event-driven architecture (EDA) powered by streams of data.
As HubSpot CTO Dharmesh Shah recently put it, 'Agents are the new apps.' Meeting this potential requires investing in the right design patterns from the start. This article explores why EDA is the key to scaling agents and unlocking their full potential in modern enterprise systems.
