SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the complexity of managing distributed event contracts, preventing breaking changes, and ensuring that event-driven architectures remain stable as they scale.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • CloudEvents Standardization: Enforces the mandatory CloudEvents 1.0 envelope structure for all domain and integration events.
  • Schema Evolution Management: Provides a rigorous protocol for additive changes and breaking change management using new event types.
  • Registry Integration: Guides the integration of Apicurio Registry to enforce compatibility rules and validate schemas before deployment.

Quick Start

Use the event-schema-design skill to validate a new event payload against the registered schema for a specific domain event type.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent breaking changes in event-driven API schemas?

Schema evolution management handles event contract changes by enforcing additive modifications and requiring new event types for breaking changes, ensuring consumer safety across distributed event-driven architectures.

What is the best way to standardize event payloads across bounded contexts?

Standardizing event payloads across bounded contexts requires enforcing the mandatory CloudEvents 1.0 envelope structure for all domain and integration events, providing a consistent wrapper for distributed routing and processing.

How do I validate event schemas in a CI/CD pipeline?

You validate event schemas in a CI/CD pipeline by integrating a schema registry to enforce compatibility rules and validate payloads before deployment, automating compatibility enforcement to prevent invalid event contracts from reaching production.

Does Apicurio Registry work with CloudEvents 1.0 for schema versioning?

Yes, Apicurio Registry integrates with CloudEvents 1.0 to manage schema versioning and enforce compatibility rules, validating domain and integration event schemas before deployment to ensure backward compatibility across bounded contexts.

When should I create a new event type instead of updating an existing schema?

You should create a new event type when managing breaking changes in your event-driven architecture; additive, non-breaking changes can update existing schemas, but breaking modifications require new event types to maintain consumer safety.
