Complex event flows in distributed systems
- 1. Complex event flows in distributed systems @berndruecker With thoughts from http://flowing.io @berndruecker | @martinschimak
- 2. 3 common hypotheses I check today: # Events decrease coupling # Orchestration needs to be avoided # Workflow engines are painful
- 3. Berlin, Germany bernd.ruecker@camunda.com @berndruecker Bernd Ruecker Co-founder and Developer Advocate of Camunda

- 6. Three steps…
- 7. Who is involved? Some bounded contexts… Checkout Payment Inventory Shipment
- 9. Autonomous (micro-)services Checkout Payment Inventory Shipment Dedicated Application Processes Dedicated infrastructure Dedicated Development Teams
- 11. Example Checkout Payment Inventory Shipment The button blinks if we can ship within 24 hours
- 12. Request/response: temporal coupling Checkout Payment Inventory Shipment Request Response The button blinks if we can ship within 24 hours
- 13. Temporal decoupling with events and read models Checkout Payment Inventory Shipment Good Stored Read Model Good Fetched The button blinks if we can ship within 24 hours *Events are facts about what happened (in the past)
- 14. Events can decrease coupling* *e.g. decentral data-management, read models, extract cross-cutting aspects
- 17. The danger is that it's very easy to make nicely decoupled systems with event notification, without realizing that you're losing sight of that larger-scale flow, and thus set yourself up for trouble in future years. https://martinfowler.com/articles/201701-event-driven.html

- 25. Order Extract the end-to-end responsibility Checkout Payment Inventory Shipment *Commands have an intent about what needs to happen in the future Order placed Payment received Retrieve payment
- 26. Commands help to avoid (complex) peer-to-peer event chains
- 27. Orchestration needs to be avoided
- 29. Dumb pipes Checkout Payment Inventory Shipment Order Smart endpoints and dumb pipes Martin Fowler
- 30. Danger of god services? Checkout Order A few smart god services tell anemic CRUD services what to do Sam Newmann Payment Inventory Shipment
- 31. Danger of god services? Checkout Payment Inventory Shipment Order A few smart god services tell anemic CRUD services what to do Sam Newmann
- 32. A god service is only created by bad API design!
- 36. Example Order Payment Client of dumb endpoints easily become a god services. If the credit card was rejected, the customer can provide new details Credit Card Retrieve Payment Rejected Rejected
- 37. Payment failed Who is responsible to deal with problems? Order Payment If the credit card was rejected, the customer can provide new details Credit Card Retrieve Payment Rejected Payment received
- 38. Payment failed Long-running execution Order Payment Clients of smart endpoints remains lean. If the credit card was rejected, the customer can provide new details Credit Card Retrieve Payment Rejected Payment received Smart endpoints are potentially long-running
