The first thing to watch out for is what is known as the architecture sinkhole anti-pattern. This anti-pattern describes the situation where requests flow through multiple layers of the architecture as simple pass-through processing with little or no logic performed within each layer

The event-driven architecture is made up of highly decoupled, single-purpose event processing components that asynchronously receive and process events

There are four main types of architecture components within the mediator topology: event queues, an event mediator, event channels, and event processors
