SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides reusable patterns and guidance for building modern event-driven architectures. It covers multi-broker support, framework-agnostic design, and resilient patterns (sagas, CQRS, event sourcing) to help teams build scalable microservices.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Framework-agnostic event patterns: versioned events, generic event store, and broker abstraction to swap Kafka, Redis, or cloud brokers without code changes.
  • Resilience patterns: sagas with compensation, retry, and observability hooks for distributed transactions.
  • CQRS and read-model projection: command and query buses, event projections, and read-model maintenance via event streams.
  • Dapr integration and Kubernetes deployment guidance: state store, pub/sub, service invocation, bindings, and sample manifests for cloud-native deployments.

Quick Start

Use the event-driven-architecture skill to bootstrap a demo that emits and consumes domain events across a producer/consumer to illustrate sagas and read-model updates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement sagas with compensation for distributed transactions in microservices?

Implement sagas with compensation using this skill's resilient patterns for distributed transactions. It provides retry mechanisms and observability hooks to maintain data consistency across microservices without two-phase commits.

Can I swap Kafka for Redis or cloud brokers without changing my event-driven code?

Yes, you can swap Kafka for Redis or cloud brokers without code changes. The skill provides a broker abstraction layer that decouples your event-driven microservices from specific message broker implementations.

How do I maintain read models and projections using CQRS and event sourcing?

Maintain read models using CQRS and event sourcing by utilizing the skill's command and query buses. It handles event projections to automatically update read-models via continuous event streams.

Does this skill support Dapr integration for Kubernetes deployments?

Yes, it supports Dapr integration for Kubernetes deployments. The skill provides guidance on utilizing Dapr's state store, pub/sub, and service invocation bindings, including sample manifests for cloud-native deployment.

What is the best way to handle schema evolution for versioned events in distributed systems?

Handle schema evolution for versioned events using the skill's framework-agnostic event patterns. It supports versioning and a generic event store to ensure backward compatibility as your event-driven architecture scales.

When should I not use event-driven architecture for my microservices?

Avoid event-driven architecture when strict real-time consistency is required over eventual consistency. If your system cannot tolerate saga compensation latency or complex event schema evolution, synchronous patterns may be better.
