Example

These examples present the order created event flow.

• Order Creates with API
• Order Service Creates Event as a OrderEvent with Created eventType
• Order Service produces orderEvent via kafka on orderEvent topic.
• Courier Service consumes the orderEvent and then assign the courier of order
• At the same time Email Service consumes the OrderEvent and then sends a fake email to user
