Example: Food Delivery Service
When a customer places an order, EventBridge routes events to trigger each step:
- Payment: Process the customer's payment
- Restaurant: Notify to start preparing the meal
- Inventory: Check ingredient availability
- Delivery: Dispatch a driver
Events like "order placed" or "payment completed" flow to each service, ensuring smooth operation.
