Question/Problem Description How to develop Event Service consumers and suppliers?
Clarifying Information The event service enables decoupled communication between client consumers and suppliers by forwarding messages through an event channel.

An event originates at a client supplier and is forwarded through an event channel to any number of client consumers.

Suppliers and consumers are completely decoupled: a supplier has no knowledge of the number of consumers or their identities, and consumers have no knowledge of which supplier generated a given event.
