Application Event

Definitions

1. A meaningful occurrence inside an application, such as a user action, state change, or completed workflow step, that can trigger listeners, logging, or asynchronous processing. Application events are commonly used to decouple components and make systems react to business-relevant changes without tight direct dependencies.

   In plain English: A significant thing that happens inside an application and can trigger other behavior.

   Example: "Publishing an application event when an invoice is finalized let billing, notifications, and analytics react independently."
