Introduction to Event-Driven Architecture

Event-driven architecture (EDA) is a design pattern that focuses on producing and handling events. It's particularly useful for building scalable systems, as it allows for loose coupling between components and enables greater flexibility.

Why NATS and Go 1.21?

NATS is a messaging system that provides a simple, yet powerful way to communicate between services. Go 1.21 is a popular programming language that's well-suited for building scalable systems. In this guide, we'll explore how to implement EDA using NATS and Go 1.21.

Setting Up NATS

To get started with NATS, you'll need to install the NATS server and the Go NATS client library. You can do this by running the following commands:

go get github.com/nats-io/nats-server
go get github.com/nats-io/stan.go

Once you've installed the NATS server and client library, you can start the NATS server by running:

nats-server

Publishing Events with NATS

To publish events with NATS, you'll need to create a NATS connection and then use the Publish method to send messages.
