SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides comprehensive guidance and templates for designing and implementing event stores, which are fundamental to building robust event-sourced applications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Event Store Architecture: Understand the core components and flow of an event store.
  • Technology Comparison: Evaluate different technologies like EventStoreDB, PostgreSQL, Kafka, and DynamoDB for suitability.
  • Implementation Templates: Utilize provided SQL schemas and Python code examples for PostgreSQL and DynamoDB, as well as usage examples for EventStoreDB.
  • Use Case: When designing a new microservice that requires an event-driven architecture, use this Skill to select the appropriate event store technology and implement its schema and basic append/read operations.

Quick Start

Use the event-store-design skill to generate a PostgreSQL schema for an event store.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design an event store for an event-sourced system?

Designing an event store involves defining core architecture components and flow for immutable, ordered, and versioned event persistence. This Skill provides structural templates and best practices to establish the foundational event store schema.

What is the best way to implement event sourcing using PostgreSQL?

Implementing event sourcing with PostgreSQL requires a specific schema for immutable, ordered, and versioned events. This Skill provides SQL schemas and Python code examples to handle append and read operations directly within a PostgreSQL database.

How does EventStoreDB compare to DynamoDB for event sourcing?

Comparing EventStoreDB and DynamoDB for event sourcing involves evaluating technology suitability for ordered, versioned event persistence. This Skill provides a technology comparison alongside implementation templates for both EventStoreDB and DynamoDB.

When do I need an event store for my microservice architecture?

You need an event store when designing a new microservice that requires an event-driven architecture. It provides the fundamental immutable, ordered, and versioned event persistence layer necessary to capture domain changes reliably.

Can I use Python to implement event sourcing append and read operations?

Yes, you can use Python to implement event sourcing operations. This Skill provides Python code examples that demonstrate how to append and read versioned events using PostgreSQL and DynamoDB as the underlying event store technologies.
