Hi all! I am trying to expand my knowledge in event-driven architecture to apply in a simple producer/consumer service I am building. Can anyone recommend event-driven architecture book?

Designing Data Intensive Applications seems like a good place to start. Some chapters will be applicable. https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/designing-data-intensive-applications/9781491903063/ https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/designing-data-intensiv...

I found "enterprise integration patterns" very interesting.

  This is indeed really a nice book. The accompanying website https://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com https://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com is very useful as well.

  This is the one I wanted to suggest too. It's a great book, don't be put off by the "enterprise" in the name.

Architecture Patterns with Python: Enabling Test-Driven Development, Domain-Driven Design, and Event-Driven Microservices by Bob Gregory and Harry Percival

  This book made a lot of things click for me. External (inter-domain) vs internal (domain) events was super useful to understand. If you’re trying some idealised event driven architecture I feel this book, and later either Domain Modelling Made Functional (F#) or Domain Driven Design with .NET core could be of use (though this definitely does enough detail on its own). I think the external events imho are the only must have though. Within the micro service or domain I don’t think event driven is necessarily cleaner or easier Vertical Slice, Clean/Onion, or even layered.

  I'm interested in the same subject, but the fact that the book bundles "event-driven" with "microservices" is a red flag for me...

Yeah, none. Run away from it.

  event-driven architectures are very natural and one of the best methods of decoupling in programming.

    Also a huge problem when your tech lead leaves the project.

Manning has a couple of nice books on streaming systems and event processing; in your particular case I think you are going to like this one: https://www.manning.com/books/event-processing-in-action https://www.manning.com/books/event-processing-in-action

You may find Event-Triggered and Time-Triggered Control Paradigms by Roman Obermaisser useful (though focused on embedded systems).
