Don't let event-driven architecture buzzwords fool you
I see we're rebranding SOA/microservices again.I did enjoy reading the preview book for EventStorming, seems like a decent format for getting stakeholders involved in the design process and capturing business details. I'm pretty sure you can also do this with an org-mode doc and emailing the right questions to the right people, but discovery is hard and having a big post-it note brain storm with 30 people does sound like more fun!I don't know, I feel like tech people are regularly amazed that other people can describe the events, processes, and data needs of their jobs if you just ask them. Likewise I grant that many people are poorly onboarded and end up "faking it to make it" in their careers. I've seen similar "people lighting up as they finally understand what the company does" moments through the use of literally any form of high-level modeling of the business. People are starved for context at most jobs.
