What category of software am I looking for?
The requirement from the business is:
As part of our running software we want to be able to 'send events' to a central place, and have other software consume them.
These 'events' might be informational or an error that has been hit.
Not huge volume, but important and very specific info about what has happened.
Like data processing of X data item from Y provider failed because Z reason.
We then want downstream services and guis to be able to subscribe to these 'events'.
Like in the above example, we might care about more providers than others.
Originally we thought this sounds like a logging problem, but I'm having my doubts about that. Realtime/push/apis being the main thing.
The more I dig, the more it sounds like this should be a solved problem and my googling is not helping.
I google event software and get random software to help organise events.
Is this a solved problem? maybe something that sits on top of a logging platform.
