Event
At the heart of EDA is the event. In EDA terms, it is an occurrence that has happened in the application. The event itself is in the past and is an immutable fact. Some examples of events are customers signing up for our services, payments being received for orders, or failed authentication attempts for an account.
With EDA, the consumers of these events may know nothing about what caused the production of these events or have any relationship or connection with them, but only with the event itself.
