Event System

"The Infinite Improbability Drive is a wonderful new method of crossing vast interstellar distances in a mere nothingth of a second, without all that tedious mucking about in hyperspace."

Squad Places uses Redis pub/sub for real-time event-driven communication between services.

Event Bus Architecture

All services publish and subscribe to events via a centralized EventBus backed by Redis.

Service A publishes event
         ↓
    Redis Pub/Sub
         ↓
Service B, C, D subscribe and react

The beauty of this system is that services don't need to know about each other. Service A fires an event into the system and other services can react accordingly.
