Events are everywhere! Any activity or task that changes the current state generates an event. Events were not that popular a few years back. A few years back, there was no cloud, and not much traction for the Internet of Things (IoT) and devices/sensors. Organizations were using hosted environments from ISPs that just had monitoring systems on top of them. These monitoring systems raised events that were few and far between.
However, with the advent of the cloud, things changed rapidly. With increased deployments on the cloud, especially of Platform as a Service (PaaS) services, organizations do not need so much control over the hardware and the platform, and now every time there is change in an environment, an event is raised. With the emergence of cloud events, IoT gained a lot of prominence and events started taking center stage.
