SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

VTEX IO session apps often struggle with correctly declaring input and output dependencies, selecting the right output namespace, and maintaining fast, deterministic transforms across a DAG. This skill provides a structured approach to designing and validating session transforms to avoid data duplication and mis-timed re-runs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Build session transforms that derive fields from upstream namespaces and propagate them to the correct private and public surfaces.
  • Enforce correct namespace ownership and prevent overwriting fields already owned by other apps.
  • Define transform DAG relationships via vtex.session/configuration.json to ensure proper scheduling.
  • Improve performance with caching strategies (LRU in memory + VBase SWR) to reduce external calls.

Quick Start

Configure your VTEX IO app's vtex.session/configuration.json and implement a minimal transform handler to derive and propagate session state.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent namespace collisions in VTEX IO session transforms?

To prevent namespace collisions in VTEX IO session transforms, you must enforce correct namespace ownership by declaring input and output dependencies. This approach ensures your app does not overwrite fields already owned by upstream apps.

What is the best way to sequence VTEX IO session transforms?

The best way to sequence VTEX IO session transforms is by defining transform DAG relationships via vtex.session/configuration.json. This DAG-based transform sequencing ensures proper scheduling and prevents mis-timed re-runs across upstream namespaces.

How does caching work for VTEX IO session apps?

Caching for VTEX IO session apps uses LRU in memory and VBase SWR strategies to reduce external calls. These caching strategies keep session transforms fast and deterministic by serving cached state instead of recomputing upstream data.

How do I configure input and output dependencies for a VTEX IO session?

You configure input and output dependencies for a VTEX IO session by declaring them in vtex.session/configuration.json. This configuration derives fields from upstream namespaces and propagates them to the correct private and public surfaces.

Why do my VTEX IO session transforms experience mis-timed re-runs?

VTEX IO session transforms experience mis-timed re-runs due to incorrectly declaring input and output dependencies. Defining proper transform DAG relationships via vtex.session/configuration.json ensures correct scheduling and eliminates data duplication.
