In cloud architectures, two paradigms have emerged as pivotal in enhancing system responsiveness and AI integration, namely Event-driven architecture and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). While event-based systems have been instrumental in building scalable micro services, MCP represents a novel approach to standardizing interactions between AI models and external tools.
While my previous article covers the evolution of cloud services for MCP/A2A Protocols, this article delves into the intricacies of the above-mentioned paradigms, exploring their individual contributions and the potential synergies when combined.
