A method distributes event processing in a distributed computing environment by storing transmission costs between computational node pairs, determining a low-cost route to deliver events from producers to consumers based on the costs, applying an augmentation to events via the low-cost route to generate augmented events, and delivering the augmented events to consumers via the low-cost route. Specifically, the method involves storing transmission costs between each of multiple computational node pairs in the distributed environment, where nodes comprise event producers and consumers. A low-cost route is determined to deliver a detected event from a producer to a consumer based on the stored costs. An augmentation is applied to the event via the low-cost route to generate an augmented event. The augmented event is then delivered to the consumer via the same low-cost route.

Event processing in a distributed computing environment

A method to broker events of event-driven application components, within a distributed computing environment and using a mesh broker, is described. The mesh broker is instantiated as several mesh agents, the mesh agents being provisioned to support mediation activities relating to a plurality of computational nodes within the distributed computing environment. The mesh agents are further deployed as a mesh network among the computational nodes of the distributed computing environment. A connectivity catalog stores cost data associated with transmission of an event notification between each of multiple pairs of computational nodes of the computational nodes. Routes across the mesh network are automatically selected, by the mesh agents and using the cost data to determine low-cost routes across the mesh network.
