Learning objectives​

  • Explain External Exercises in terms of events, temporal coupling, and consistency tradeoffs instead of diagram-first messaging vocabulary.
  • Use External Exercises to predict how data, retries, ordering, and observability will behave when workflows are split across asynchronous boundaries.
  • Use system-design-primer to connect the learner explanation to streams, event contracts, choreography, and coordination failure modes.

Prerequisites​

  • Comfort with service decomposition, distributed communication, and consistency tradeoffs from the earlier modules.
