FinOps Academy · Design Patterns

Event-Driven Architecture

Decouple producers and consumers through durable events and asynchronous processing.

Objective: Improve scalability and autonomy while handling distributed-system complexity.

Practical guidance

Design concerns

01

Event ownership

Apply this point to a real FinOps Academy design, delivery or operational scenario and record the evidence used to validate the outcome.

02

Ordering and duplication

Apply this point to a real FinOps Academy design, delivery or operational scenario and record the evidence used to validate the outcome.

03

Schema evolution

Apply this point to a real FinOps Academy design, delivery or operational scenario and record the evidence used to validate the outcome.

04

Dead-letter handling

Apply this point to a real FinOps Academy design, delivery or operational scenario and record the evidence used to validate the outcome.

Practical guidance

Operational needs

01

Correlation IDs

Apply this point to a real FinOps Academy design, delivery or operational scenario and record the evidence used to validate the outcome.

02

Lag monitoring

Apply this point to a real FinOps Academy design, delivery or operational scenario and record the evidence used to validate the outcome.

03

Replay controls

Apply this point to a real FinOps Academy design, delivery or operational scenario and record the evidence used to validate the outcome.

04

Apply this point to a real FinOps Academy design, delivery or operational scenario and record the evidence used to validate the outcome.

Practical guidance

Use carefully

01

Simple synchronous workflows

Apply this point to a real FinOps Academy design, delivery or operational scenario and record the evidence used to validate the outcome.

02

Strict immediate consistency

Apply this point to a real FinOps Academy design, delivery or operational scenario and record the evidence used to validate the outcome.

03

Low operational maturity

Apply this point to a real FinOps Academy design, delivery or operational scenario and record the evidence used to validate the outcome.

04

Unclear event contracts

Apply this point to a real FinOps Academy design, delivery or operational scenario and record the evidence used to validate the outcome.
