> Push Publish-subscribe:
> -- following all events from a given stream or substream
> -- event travels to server, broadcast to subscribers
> -- server handles identity mgmt
> 
> Pull:
> -- a query is sent to an event repository
> -- a set of events is returned

> Query services
> result is a set of events
