Why use this template?

battle-tested patterns for async, event-sourced systems.

Loose Coupling

Producers and consumers are decoupled through the event bus — services evolve independently.

CQRS Pattern

Separate read and write models for optimal query performance and independent scaling.

Event Sourcing

Persistent event store captures every state change for auditing, replay, and debugging.

Scalable Consumers

Add new consumers without modifying existing services — analytics, search, notifications.

Frequently asked questions

What is event-driven architecture?

Event-driven architecture (EDA) is a design pattern where services communicate by producing and consuming events through an event bus like Kafka. It enables loose coupling, scalability, and real-time processing.

What is the difference between event sourcing and CQRS?

Event sourcing stores every state change as an immutable event. CQRS separates read and write models. They are often used together — events are the write model, and projections build optimized read models.

Can I customize this template with AI?

Yes. Open it in Cybewave Studio and ask the AI to add saga orchestration, dead-letter queues, schema registry, or any other EDA pattern.
