eventsin

Eventsin is a term encountered in discussions of event-driven systems and data streams. It does not have a single formal definition and its meaning varies by context. In many contexts, eventsin refers informally to an input event stream—the sequence of events that enter a system from external sources or internal components.

An eventsin typically comprises discrete records that include a timestamp, an event type, a source, and a payload. It is commonly handled by a stream processor or a message broker and is considered with properties such as ordering (by time or sequence), durability, and delivery semantics (for example, at-least-once). Consumers may partition, filter, or window the events to derive insights or trigger actions.

In event-sourcing models, the term may be used to describe the stream of factual events that represents state changes. The events are stored in an append-only log, and reconstruction of current state involves applying events from past to present.

Because "eventsin" is not an official term, usage varies; some writers treat it as two words "events in" to describe the input side of a system, while others use it as a variable name or project label. When encountered, its precise meaning should be inferred from the surrounding discussion.
