Building an Event Driven Architecture – Lessons Learned

In this somewhat of a long post, I will go over some of the lessons I and my team learned while building an event driven architecture at work, why did we build it, recommendations and watch-outs for anyone else thinking of doing the same. This is more of a field report from a real life environment so there is a generous helping of pragmatism around architecture and careful and deliberate avoidance of dogma and purism.
