I’ve never really heard of it being used as a communication pattern.
Take a look at 5. Composing services becomes trivial from Event Sourcing: What it is and why it's awesome which is the first hit if you search for Event Sourcing at dev.to. The post has more than 100 likes.
I don't want to discredit the post, but it's an example for mixing the concepts of Event Sourcing and Domain Events.
Sorry this is my first time on this site so I never saw that post. I agree that part of that post is off where they seem to be conflating the benefits of an event driven system with the benefits of event sourcing, which is not correct. There can be some overlap, many times we will take a Domain Event that is received by a service and stick that in our event stream, so we can rebuild the state of that service by replaying all of the inputs to the service. But it depends on the nature of the service if that makes sense. And certainly we would not expose that event stream outside of that service.
