Hi Adrian

Currently Heat does not an "event stream", but instead an event table and
REST resource. This sucks as you have to poll it.
We have been long wanting some integration with Zaqar - we are all
convinced, just needs someone to do the work.
So the idea here is we send user related events via a Zaqar queue and the
user (Magnum) subscribes and get events.

See above, you have anyone to drive this?

If it's not too frequent then this might be your best bet until we get "1)".

Hope this helps
