1) The document discusses how event-driven architectures and asynchronous APIs can make interactions more responsive and agile. It defines an event and provides examples of how events are generated from user actions.
2) A key benefit of event-driven systems is improved responsiveness through asynchronous processing and deferred execution. This allows isolating performance-critical paths from less time-sensitive operations.
3) The document advocates for a microservices approach powered by an event mesh to route events. This enables agility, scalability, and parallel processing while maintaining eventual consistency.
