Patterns for building event-driven web and mobile app backends

User interfaces by their nature are event driven - interactions trigger events that drive the application. But integrations between frontend and backend are often built synchronously using a request/response pattern. The samples in this repository explore patterns to enable asynchronous, event-driven integrations with the frontend. These real-world patterns bring the agility and responsiveness of EDA across client-server interactions.
