Systems and methods for dispatching change events using prioritized queues

A computer-implemented method for processing change events, the method comprising:

• receiving, into a processing pipeline, an indication of a change event associated with a data source in a distributed network, the change event being generated by a computing device associated with an event producer in the distributed network;
• determining a priority level for the received indication, based on a priority function;
• queueing the received indication, based on the priority level;
• and
• transmitting the received indication to one or more computing devices associated with one or more event consumers for processing the received indication, according to the priority level, to cause the one or more computing devices associated with one or more event consumers to perform one or more data actions associated with the received indication.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processing unit of a computing system, cause the computing system to:

• determine a priority level for a received indication of a change event associated with a data source in a distributed network, based on a priority function, the change event being generated by a computing device associated with an event producer in the distributed network;
• queue the received indication, based on the priority level;
• and
• transmit the received indication to one or more computing devices associated with one or more event consumers for processing the received indication, according to the priority level, to cause the one or more computing devices associated with one or more event consumers to perform one or more data actions associated with the received indication.
