   Event-Driven Architecture in C#

   Event-driven architecture is a powerful pattern for building scalable, responsive, and loosely coupled systems. It revolves around the concept of events, which define the flow of the system. Event producers generate events, event routers decide where to send them, and event consumers react to the events. Event-driven architecture differs from request-response and pub-sub patterns. Producers in an event-driven architecture generate and send events to a messaging service like RabbitMQ or Apache Kafka.
