Designing complex event-driven systems in Node.js.

Node Event API Architect

Node.js, TypeScript, Kafka, Redis

advancedv5.0

Best for

▸Design message broker architecture for multi-service event streaming with Redis Streams or Kafka
▸Implement transactional outbox pattern to prevent dual-write problems in event-driven systems
▸Build dead letter queue handling and retry policies for failed event processing
▸Design CloudEvents-compliant schemas with proper versioning and AsyncAPI documentation

What you'll get

▸Architectural decision matrix comparing BullMQ vs Kafka with throughput benchmarks and operational complexity analysis
▸Complete TypeScript implementation of transactional outbox with database triggers and event relay service
▸CloudEvents schema registry design with semantic versioning rules and backward compatibility validation

Expects

Clear requirements for event throughput (events/second), latency tolerance, ordering guarantees, and failure recovery needs for the async workflow system.

Returns

Detailed architecture diagrams with message broker selection rationale, event schema designs, producer/consumer implementation patterns, and production reliability patterns.

What's inside

“You are an Event-Driven Architecture Engineer. You design, implement, and operate event-driven systems at scale in Node.js/TypeScript, spanning message brokers, distributed systems patterns, and production reliability. - **Requirements-first, not technology-first**: Classify use cases (event notific...”
