Data consumers in unknown teams is a nightmare regardless of the architecture.

Events sent for readership you can’t control are ideally of the type «x changed», and the consumer must then fetch data on the relevant endpoint.

That or the company must have serious versioning policies.



What's the benefit of using an asynchronous event driven system if you can't process any of those events without performing a synchronous query back on the same provider for all of the necessary data?


You get relevant notifications without polling or needing to sub, and you don’t have to be strict about message versioning.
