I have gained my knowledge by watching talks and reading many articles, but more importantly designing, and running event-driven systems in production for many years, along with making many mistakes during that time.

But I think a great place to start is the following two books

And

Following my experience with event-driven systems, I found Martin and Ben's content to align with what I have experienced and learned, while there are some viewpoints in Adam's book which I don't agree with, it is an excellent book and strove of knowledge with many nuggets of gold in its pages.

Hope you find these books and articles as useful as I have in your journey in event-driven architecture. Just FYI the amazon links are affiliate links (#CommissionsEarned).
