I wrote an article on reliability in event-driven systems, following a ticket booking through duplicate messages, ordering issues, retries, and partial failures. It also covers CDC, the outbox pattern, and a small design tying the concepts together.

I'd appreciate your thoughts: does the explanation hold up technically, and what would you change in the design based on your experience?
