SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Projection Patterns skill helps you turn event streams into readable, queryable projections, enabling fast insights and efficient read models for CQRS-based systems.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Defines projection architectures (Live, Catchup, Persistent, Inline) and how to wire event stores to read models.
  • Provides templates for common projections (basic projector, order summary, search projection, aggregated views, and multi-table projections) to accelerate implementation.
  • Supports auditing, checkpointing, and rebuild workflows to ensure idempotence and recoverability across storage backends.

Quick Start

Provide a concrete Projection and register it with a Projector, then feed events from the Event Store to build/update the read model.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build queryable read models from event streams in a CQRS architecture?

You build queryable read models from event streams by implementing projections that materialize domain events into structured views. This approach enables fast insights for CQRS-based systems, real-time dashboards, and analytics across multiple storage backends.

What projection types are available for materializing domain events?

Available projection types for materializing domain events include Live, Catchup, Persistent, and Inline projections. Each type handles event sourcing read models differently, supporting various event store wiring and checkpoint mechanisms for reliable view generation.

How do I handle idempotent replay when rebuilding event sourcing projections?

Idempotent replay during projection rebuilds is handled through context-aware projection logic combined with a checkpoint mechanism. This ensures recoverability and auditing across storage backends by tracking processed domain events accurately without duplication.

Do I need an event store interface to implement CQRS projections?

Yes, an event store interface is required to implement CQRS projections. The event store feeds domain events into the projector, which requires a checkpoint mechanism and context-aware logic to process entity types and event types for reliable read model updates.

What is the best way to structure a projection for aggregated views and multi-table read models?

The best way to structure aggregated views and multi-table read models is using provided projection templates. These templates cover basic projectors, order summaries, and search projections, accelerating implementation by wiring event stores directly to read model storage.

Why does my projection read model fall behind during catchup processing?

Projection read models fall behind during catchup processing when checkpoint mechanisms fail to track domain events properly. Ensuring context-aware projection logic handles entity types and event types idempotently across your storage backend restores recoverability and synchronization.
