SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Helps architects and engineers design and implement robust event stores for event-sourced systems, providing guidance on architecture, schema design, and persistence patterns to ensure durable, scalable data.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architecture guidance for event store design, including per-stream versioning, global ordering, and immutability.
  • Technology comparisons and templates for common patterns (PostgreSQL, EventStoreDB, Kafka, DynamoDB).
  • Real-world use cases and best practices for schema design, querying, and scalability.

Quick Start

Implement a minimal event store using the PostgreSQL template provided and adapt it to your domain.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design an event store schema for event sourcing?

Implement optimistic concurrency control in your event store by applying per-stream versioning and global ordering constraints. The Skill provides templates and patterns to enforce these constraints across relational, document, or streaming backends.

What is the best way to persist events for an event-sourced system?

Persist events immutably using a backend that supports per-stream versioning and global ordering. The Skill provides technology comparisons and practical templates for PostgreSQL, EventStoreDB, Kafka, and DynamoDB to guide your persistence pattern selection.

Does PostgreSQL work well as an event store backend?

PostgreSQL works effectively as an event store backend. The Skill includes a minimal PostgreSQL template for implementing an event store, offering architecture guidance for schemas, querying, and scalability within relational databases.

How do I handle optimistic concurrency control in an event store?

Handle optimistic concurrency control in an event store by applying per-stream versioning and global ordering constraints. The Skill provides templates and patterns to enforce these constraints across relational, document, or streaming backends.

When should I use a streaming backend versus a document store for event sourcing?

Choose a streaming backend like Kafka for high-throughput global ordering, or a document store like DynamoDB for specific scalability needs. The Skill provides real-world use cases and technology comparisons to evaluate store technologies across these persistence patterns.

How do I query an event store without breaking immutability?

Query an event store by reading the immutable per-event logs directly or projecting them into read models. The Skill offers querying best practices and schema templates to ensure data retrieval scales without compromising the immutable event log.
