Introduction to Designing Events and Event Streams
What do distributed asynchronous computing, event-driven microservices, data in motion, and the modern data flow all have in common? They start with the event: a single piece of data that describes, as a snapshot in time, something important that happened. Properly designing your event and event streams is essential for any event-driven architecture. Precisely how you design and implement them will significantly affect not only what you can do today, but what you can do tomorrow.
