What is Event Mapping?

Event mapping, in the context of software development and systems integration, refers to the process of defining and correlating events that occur across different systems or components. It involves identifying relevant events, standardizing their formats, and establishing relationships between them to enable a holistic view of system behavior and facilitate automated responses. Event mapping is commonly used in event-driven architectures, microservices, and distributed systems to achieve loose coupling, improve scalability, and enable real-time decision making. It often involves the use of event brokers, message queues, and event processing engines.
