why is TIBCo called real time and event driven


The TIBCO website says that it is a real time, event enabled infrastructure. Is there any layman's way of understanding why Websphere MQ which is also a messaging software is not real time? Because MQ is written in Java? Also what is the meaning of event driven infrstructure?

I understand (vaguely) that Java script is an event driven language in that the event is the user action (like a keypress,a click). So in the context of TIBCO, what does event driven mean? What is the event...an incoming request asking for a Service?


Solution

  • Well Term Event Driven, you want it in layman's language.Suppose you go to a mall for buying a product,after that you swipe your card, the moment you swipe a card (here one thing plays a role i.e. event) which is registered in the database, all your previous history gets invoked based on some mathematical computation TIBCO Soft. comes to know you have keen interest in buying some xyz brands product. So it will advertise its details on your mobile. This is what called event enabled enterprise. And i think it is beyond that!!
