Modern systems are evolving from monolithic architectures to complex, distributed graphs of computation that require effective coordination strategies for workflows spanning multiple services. The article introduces a framework for understanding the relationship between event-driven architecture, stream processing, and orchestration, emphasizing the importance of durable triggers and progressable work in achieving reliable workflows. It also discusses the critical roles of choreography and orchestration in managing these workflows effectively.
