045 - Event-Based Strategies

Crafting Code Podcast

Following on to our previous discussion about event-based systems, in this episode Allan and Dave share some of the strategies they've used utilize events successfully. We cover naming strategies, sources of truth in a system, bounded contexts, anti-fragility, and delivery guarantees. And just because you're using events doesn't mean you have to give up on HTTP APIs; sometimes having both is better. Event-based systems don't have to be complicated to work in, if you do the work to make it easy.
