Hi Paul, AFAIU with the existing message design and with your points with the Pub/Sub ,+1 for improve our Startos messaging model as far as we can as it will improve the performance as well as standards.As far as I understood the current messaging model , we can thinking about following two suggestions.
*Suggestion 1 - * We can used separate topic for the every event type.But AFAIN there are around 30 events(same schema or shape) around in the current scenario and I supposed it is growing as well.Please correct me if I am wrong here.So we have to maintain separate topics for the each events and then easily we can distinguished the messages based on the topic. *Suggestion 2 -* With the current implementation we used the "event-class-name" value to distinguished the messages.IMO also We don't need to distinguished the messages based on the header and we can easily include that in the message body.But still I guess there will be a overhead is that every time we need to deserialize the JSON message and see what is the message class name is.WDYT? Please share your thoughts on this and also it is really appreciate if you can recommend any other suggestion in your mind to improve the current messaging model.
