Architecture pattern
when one event, several teams, none of them blocking each other
A topic fans the message out; each consumer gets its own queue. One slow or broken consumer backs up only its own queue, and its failures retry there instead of taking the publisher down with them.
In the order a request or a record moves through it. Each one links to the page that explains it.
Phrases that, when you meet them in a scenario, mean this shape rather than another. They are the tell, and they are what an exam question is built around.
Every consumer needs its own dead-letter handling, and ordering across queues is not guaranteed.
Every shape has one. A design decision with no stated downside is usually a decision nobody has finished making.
These run through some of the same services, which is exactly why a brief that fits one can look like it fits another.
Reading a shape and producing one from a scenario that never names a service are different skills, and the exam asks for the second. The scenarios give you the brief; you draw the architecture and it is scored against what the brief requires.
