About Event-Driven Workflow Design

Processes that react to events can become difficult to trace. Design explicit commands, state transitions, and correlation rules for a long-running workflow.

Event-Driven Workflow Design Course Objectives

Distinguish events from commands.
Model state transitions and event-triggered actions.
Trace correlation and causality across a workflow.

Pre-requisites

Familiarity with workflow state and APIs.
Basic programming or system design experience.

Lab Setup

Computer with a diagram editor and a programming runtime.
Use a local event simulator and synthetic messages; a hosted broker is not required.

Detailed Course Outline

Proposed modules

Module 1: Event contracts

Events
Commands
State transitions
Event-driven architecture

Practical outcome: Define messages and allowed state changes.

Module 2: Reactive execution

Event sourcing
Triggers
Reactive workflows

Practical outcome: Replay an event sequence to reconstruct state.

Module 3: Long-running coordination

Long-running processes
Correlation
Causality

Practical outcome: Trace related events across a process boundary.

Practical exercise

Design and simulate an event-driven request workflow with duplicate and out-of-order events.

How we train

Ask about exercises, instructor feedback and the prior knowledge you need. Tool-specific courses marked provisional may become modules in a broader course.
