Event End Point Management 10 • Description: Events need to be described in a way that provides enough information for another developer to make use of them • Discovery: Generating events is only useful if other people make use of them. For developers to make use of them they must be discoverable. • Decentralized: to enable developers to have quick access to these additional event-driven ways of interacting with a system • Decoupled: abstracted interface, independent from how a system is implemented
