Thanks for sharing, this is a very interesting topic. You mentioned that there are no bad solutions as long as it solves the problem, however, if architect is not looking beyond of just solving the problem today, their decision today will turn in the problem of tomorrow. I’d say this is a matter of trade offs analysis and future vision.

Good point. but I did not mean just solve problem (patch) for today. he should have 360 vision. what I mean if done proper trade off analysis then solution should have strong reason to exist.

Totally agree, thanks for sharing

Thanks again for sharing your expertise. Aside the pros and cons of a defined architecture, you pointed out a very good point that is the change of payload structure of publishers who publish to a topic. How do we handle these breaking or versioning in event driven architecture? My knowledge is limited within our cluster. So thought letting all the subscribers know the change would be good enough.This could be a lengthy explanation but appreciate a short answer. Thanks!

I will do a short video on this.
