Exploring Different Types of Events and Notifications
Different types of events and notifications exist, with events at the level of business contexts, bounded contexts, or domains, while notifications are often user-oriented. Events can have single logical owners, but some may view events differently. The term 'event' can be overloaded; some may consider notifications as events. Notifications are typically user push notifications like emails or SMS. Data distribution events involve distributing data among systems, focusing on keeping systems in sync, unlike events significant at a business domain level. Data distribution events are common in systems like Kafka. While events may involve one-to-many broadcast of data, notifications are often additional technological features layered on top of business events.
