Technical Overview

Rabble Rouser uses event streaming. Essentially, applications can emit events onto a Kinesis stream and have other applications listen for these events.

Events are of a particular structure (JSON), but most of the payload is up to you.

The event store saves events in the order they arrive, giving you the ability to see all the events of a particular type at a particularly point in time - essentially a history of the state of the app as it changes.

We designed it to be modular. We wanted it to be easy for people to build their own extensions to the app and deploy them.
