Xano’s event-driven architecture is like a well-oiled machine. It lets you separate microservices, making your system more flexible, scalable, and easier to manage. Events are the glue that holds everything together, allowing you to add or update features without breaking stuff.

First things first, create a new workspace on Xano. This is where all your microservices and events will live. Here’s how:

• Head over to the Xano dashboard.
• Click on "Create Workspace."
• Give your workspace a name and set it up to fit your needs.

Next, figure out which events will trigger actions in your microservices. Think about things like user registration, order creation, and payment confirmation. Write these down clearly so everything runs smoothly.

For each event, you’ll need to define a schema to pass data between services. Create JSON schemas that outline the structure, type, and required fields for each event.

• Go to "API" in your Xano workspace.
• Click on "Create New Endpoint" and choose "Create from Scratch."
• Define the schema using JSON.

Now, create the microservices that will generate events. These producers will create and send events when certain actions happen.

• In Xano, install any needed packages.
• Write the logic to produce events.
• Use Xano’s API to send events to other microservices.

Set up the microservices that will consume these events and take action.

• Create new endpoints in Xano for each consumer microservice.
• Write the logic to handle incoming events.
• Make sure you have proper error handling and logging.

Connect your event producers and consumers.

• Go to the "Event Triggers" section in Xano.
• Select the event you want to configure.
• Define the trigger by specifying the source and target microservices.

Test your setup thoroughly to make sure everything works.

• Use Xano’s testing tools to simulate events.
• Check logs and use debugging features to fix any issues.

Keep an eye on your event-driven architecture and make improvements as needed.

• Regularly review event logs and metrics.
• Scale your setup based on performance data.

Deploy your services and keep them updated.

• Use Xano’s deployment tools to launch your services.
• Set up CI/CD pipelines for continuous updates.
