Experts contend that EDA is the way forward for solving some of the challenges previously quoted. That is, the controlling logic is being stuffed in the orchestrator module, whereas in this case, the logic is inscribed in each of the participating services; the logic is distributed and these empowered services (smart services) know beforehand how to react to various events.
