SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Event sourcing captures every state change as an immutable sequence of events, enabling full audit trails, time-travel queries, and reliable projections for Firefly-based services.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • AggregateRoot pattern validates business invariants in public commands and emits events via applyChange.
  • Reactive EventStore over R2DBC with optimistic concurrency, snapshots, and a transactional outbox for reliable persistence across microservices.
  • Snapshots and Projections enable fast reads by replaying events and building read models.
  • Event Upcasting & Multi-tenancy evolve event schemas over time while isolating tenants through Reactor context.
  • End-to-end workflows for creating, loading, mutating, and projecting aggregates.

Quick Start

Create an AccountLedger-like aggregate, publish creation and update events to the EventStore, and load the aggregate state by replaying its events.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement event sourcing with a reactive EventStore in Java?

You implement event sourcing by creating an AggregateRoot that validates commands and emits events, then publishing those events to a reactive EventStore over R2DBC. Fast reads are enabled by replaying events and building projections from snapshots.

What is the AggregateRoot pattern for validating business invariants in event-sourced systems?

The AggregateRoot pattern validates business invariants inside public command methods. Upon successful validation, it emits domain events via applyChange, ensuring state transitions are captured immutably for reliable audit trails and temporal queries.

Can I use event sourcing snapshots and multi-tenancy in a reactive Java service?

Yes, you can use snapshots and multi-tenancy in a reactive Java service. Snapshots optimize aggregate loading by periodically saving state, while TenantContext isolates tenant data through Reactor context propagation in Mono and Flux streams.

How does event upcasting work when evolving event schemas in an event-sourced application?

Event upcasting transforms older event versions into newer schemas during event replay. This allows your event-sourced application to evolve domain models over time without breaking existing EventStore records or requiring data migrations.

Does the Firefly Framework support transactional outbox for event-sourced microservices?

Yes, the Firefly Framework supports a transactional outbox for event-sourced microservices. It ensures reliable persistence by atomically writing events to the EventStore alongside business state changes, preventing data loss across distributed services.
