Cool - so that article you link sets the context for the second.

I do think it does HTTP a disservice though - when you switch from HTTP to EDA you ditch the well known Uniform Interface and a lot of the benefits you get for free,(i.e. robust caching/proxying/routing, all the things a Service Mesh can do).

Instead of ditching HTTP, it would be nice to see people building async HTTP APIs, where the API responds with 201 Accepted (probably using a message queue behind the scenes) rather than the brittle systems you describe, where everything comes back under a 200.
