2/7 Define an event schema: Create a schema for events that define the type of events, their attributes and the relationship between different types of events. serverlessland.com/event-driven-a…

3/7 Choose an event-driven architecture pattern: Select an architecture pattern that suits your application requirements. Common patterns include event sourcing, CQRS, and pub/sub. Checkout s12d.com/Eda for ideas

7/7 Monitor and troubleshoot: Monitor the event flow and have mechanisms to handle failures. Ensure to handle errors and avoid errors from causing system failures. serverlessland.com/event-driven-a…
