Designing a Resilient Media Orchestration System: Event-Driven Architecture with Real-Time AI
Every content team eventually faces the same wall: you've got six platforms to publish on, a dozen data sources feeding in, and some AI pipeline generating drafts — but none of it talks to each other without duct tape and cron jobs.
What you need isn't more tools. You need an orchestration layer.

Here's what the architecture looks like and the decisions that mattered.
