Create demo system to experiment with CD Events

[agardnerIT]

At CDCon 2023 the community had a discussion around the fact that there should be a reference implementation or a "way to demonstrate" cloud events.

A few different technologies were discussed (I apologise but can't remember the names of the attendees) - but the overarching impression I was left with was that the CDEvents project needs some way (beyond the spec) to actually show how CDEvents can be used in a hands-on, practical demo.

This issue covers the creation of such a demo system.

Important to note that whatever tools / tech is used in this system, we should make clear that CDEvents is tool agnostic and so the tooling is purely an example. The user ultimately must choose the correct tooling for their use case and circumstances.

Please assign to me as I'm happy to work on this.

Thanks, @agardnerIT!

We discussed this during the CDEvents meeting today.
We have a couple of POCs today but they need to be updated and/or improved upon.

We have the following three issues to track some of this work

• Create PoC for CDEvents with "evidence store" #27
• Create PoC for GitHub Actions #28
• DORA Metrics Proof of Concept #29

Your help with this is definitely welcome.
Would you be able to join any of the CDEvents meetings to further discuss the details?
Alternatively, we can also continue the discussion and planning offline through GitHub issues.

Unfortunately that time is midnight for me. Let's continue async.

@bradmccoydev and I are in regular contact though esp. on #28

I'll knock something together quickly today and post back here for review.

Nice, thank you!

Here's a very rough live demo: https://killercoda.com/agardnerit/scenario/cdevents

If you like it, we can move it to this repo so it no longer lives under agardnerit but rather cdevents.

Thank you, @agardnerIT, we'll review this!

@agardnerIT is this something that could benefit from contributions within hacktoberfest?
