Software Architecture Monday with Mark Richards is a free bi-weekly software architecture lesson containing a short video about some aspect of software architecture. These lessons contain tips, techniques, and advice to help you in your journey from developer to architect. New lessons will be posted every other Monday. You can see an index and description of each video by going to https://www.developertoarchitect.com/lessons/

Knowing how many derived events to trigger from an event processor in event-driven architecture can sometimes be challenging, leading to what is known as the Swarm of Gnats anti-pattern. Gnats are very small, annoying flying insects that buzz around your head, bothering you enough to go back indoors on a beautiful sunny day. The Swarm of Gnats anti-pattern describes the situation where an event processor triggers too many fine-grained, detailed derived events, just like those annoying gnats you want to just swipe away. This practice can saturate and overwhelm a system, eventually leading to a general lack of understanding of the overall event flows. In this lesson I describe how this anti-pattern can occur, and ways of avoiding this anti-pattern to arrive at the right level of granularity for the number of derived events to trigger from an event processor.
