If you want to check the availability of an item across an e-commerce platform, at a minimum, the Product details page needs to pull in information, such as the description and price. This requirement introduces latency that affects the performance of the page. To solve this issue, you can build a local Product details page cache by using availability events. You can reduce the cost of event consumption and the reliance on external API calls. Then, you can use the Availability API to include item descriptions in the event response.

The scenarios that follow relate to the promising service, the inventory service, and the optimization service.
