Building an event-driven application with Spring Boot messaging

Crafting an event-driven application using Spring Boot involves building a system that’s responsive, scalable, and equipped to handle the complexities of modern software requirements. Essentially, an event-driven application responds to events, ranging from user interactions to messages from external systems. This methodology enables components of your application to interact and operate independently, enhancing flexibility and efficiency. With Spring Boot, setting up such an application is made easier due to its philosophy of convention over configuration and the array of tools it provides from the start.

Throughout this journey, we will take a hands-on approach by introducing two Spring Boot projects—one will focus on generating events while the other will concentrate on consuming them. This segregation mirrors real-life scenarios where producers and consumers are often located in systems or microservices...
