Adding an Event Sink Endpoint

To add an inbound event sink, copy the outbound event signature into the target microservice's service.yaml, run go generate to scaffold boilerplate, implement the sink logic, and run tests to validate the integration.

An inbound event sink is an endpoint in a microservice designed to receive events from other services. It automates boilerplate generation and configuration in service.yaml to enable seamless event-driven communication.

Yes, you must copy the required signature from the outbound event and paste it into the inbound sink definition in service.yaml. This enforces contract compatibility before running go generate for code scaffolding.

Yes, go generate is used to automate the creation of boilerplate code and test scaffolding for inbound event sinks. You define the sink in service.yaml first, then execute go generate to produce the required code.

You can test inbound event sinks across local environments by running the generated test scaffolding after implementing the sink logic. The skill streamlines end-to-end testing to validate the event-driven integration.
