10. 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
