Cloud-native design has become a cornerstone for building scalable, resilient, and high-performance distributed systems, particularly in the context of event-driven architectures. The current paper discusses the intersection of software architecture decision-making and DevOps practices in determining the effectiveness of cloud-native event-driven systems. It reminds the importance of major architectural patterns, like microservices, asynchronous communication, and event streams to allow loosely coupled and highly responsive applications to be created. Simultaneously, it also solves the operational complexity brought by distributed systems, such as observability, fault tolerance, and data consistency. The research focuses on the significance of the combination of DevOps processes like continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD), Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and system monitoring to facilitate a smooth system and accelerated delivery. A proposed architecture illustrates how current tools and platforms may be integrated to ensure the realization of high throughput, low latency and efficient use of resources. The outcome of the performance evaluation indicates that the evaluation is much more scalable, reliable, and efficient in the deployment compared to the conventional methods. In general, the paper maintains that effective deployment of cloud-native event-driven systems demands a unified strategy in which the architectural design and the DevOps strategies will be closely connected. Through this integration, organizations are able to develop adaptive systems that are robust and future oriented which are able to support the requirements of real time digital applications.
