SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Event sourcing yields raw streams that are hard to query efficiently. Projection patterns create read models and materialized views to support fast queries, analytics, and real-time dashboards.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Live projections: real-time updates from event streams to read models.
  • Catchup and Persistent projections: rebuilds after outages and checkpoints to resume processing.
  • Use cases: powering CQRS read sides, optimized queries, and dashboards across multiple domains.

Quick Start

Start a projection by wiring a projector to your event store and rebuilding the read model.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build queryable read models from event sourcing streams?

Projection patterns transform raw event sourcing streams into materialized read models. This supports fast queries, real-time dashboards, and efficient data aggregation by creating queryable views from multiple aggregate streams.

What is the best way to implement a CQRS read side with live event streams?

Implementing a CQRS read side uses live projections to stream real-time updates into read models. Wiring a projector framework to your event store continuously generates optimized, queryable views for the read side.

How do I rebuild read models after an outage in an event sourcing system?

Catchup and persistent projections rebuild read models after outages. A checkpoint mechanism ensures deterministic, ordered processing, allowing the projector to resume event processing from the exact last position in the event store.

Do I need a checkpoint mechanism for deterministic event processing?

Yes, a checkpoint mechanism is required for deterministic, ordered processing of event streams. It ensures projections resume correctly after interruptions and maintains consistency across multiple aggregate streams.

When should I use projection patterns for data aggregation instead of direct queries?

Use projection patterns when raw event sourcing streams are hard to query efficiently. If your system requires real-time analytics, optimized queries, or dashboards across multiple domains, projections provide the necessary fast read models.

What components are required to start projecting event streams into read models?

Projecting event streams requires a projector framework, an event store, and a checkpoint mechanism. These components ensure deterministic, ordered processing when rebuilding or updating read models for real-time analytics.
