Introduction

We have transformed an application into an asynchronous one, which removes a lot of issues that arose from the tightly coupled and temporally bound nature of synchronous communication. Nearly all communication in the application is now made with a message brokered through NATS JetStream, providing loose coupling for the application components. However, despite all the advances we have made, we still face issues that all distributed systems suffer from.
