the "producer" is a specific instance, process or device that creates the data

structure describing the CloudEvent.

a "consumer" receives the event and acts upon it. It uses the context and data

to execute some logic, which might lead to the occurrence of new events.

An "intermediary" receives a message containing an event for the purpose of

forwarding it to the next receiver, which might be another intermediary or a

Consumer. A typical task for an intermediary is to route the event to

Mutator, when a Producer or Intermediary blocks on a response from a Consumer,

replacing the original Event.
