The speaker introduces themselves and discusses their company, vgw, a Perth-based startup turned non-startup. They explain that their talk is meant to cover topics for a new and diverse team, including event-driven architectures and communication patterns. The talk is centered around a hypothetical scenario of a growing games company trying to increase revenue through personalized avatars. The team decides to integrate into an existing monolithic architecture to handle multiple operations within a single request lifecycle, using atomic database transactions. The goal is to prevent any weird states and ensure the customers balance is properly deducted and the avatar assigned.
