Eventuate Tram is a platform that solves the distributed data management problems inherent in a http://microservices.io/patterns/microservices.html[microservice architecture].

It is described in more detail in my book https://www.manning.com/books/microservice-patterns[Microservice Patterns] and the http://eventuate.io/tram/gettingstarted.html[getting started guide].

== Key benefits of Eventuate Tram

++++



Maintain data consistency using sagas


Implement commands that update data in multiple microservices by using Sagas, which are sequences of local transactions coordinated using messages




Implement queries using CQRS


Implement queries that retrieve data from multiple services by using CQRS views, which are easily queryable replicas maintained using events




Communicate using transactional messaging


Reliably send and receive messages and events as part of a database transaction by using the Transactional Outbox pattern




++++

== How it works

Eventuate Tram provides several messaging abstractions:

* messaging - send and receive messages over named channels
* events - publish domain events and subscribe to domain events
* commands - asynchronously send a command to a service and receive a reply

Eventuate Tram messaging implements the http://microservices.io/patterns/data/application-events.html[Transactional Outbox pattern].
An message producer inserts events into an `OUTBOX` table as part of the ACID transaction that updates data, such as JPA entities.
A separate message relay (a.k.a. Eventuate CDC service) publishes messages to the message broker.

The Eventuate CDC service works in one of two ways:

* http://microservices.io/patterns/data/transaction-log-tailing.html[Transaction log tailing] - currently implemented for MySQL and Postgres WAL
* https://microservices.io/patterns/data/polling-publisher.html[Polling] - for other databases

== Supported technologies

Languages:

* Spring Boot
* Micronaut
* Quarkus - see https://github.com/eventuate-tram/eventuate-tram-core-quarkus

* Postgres - https://microservices.io/patterns/data/transaction-log-tailing.html[transaction log tailing] using the Postgres WAL
* Other databases including Microsoft SQL server - https://microservices.io/patterns/data/polling-publisher.html[polling]

Message brokers:

* Apache Kafka
* ActiveMQ
* RabbitMQ
* Redis Streams

== Getting started

Please see the http://eventuate.io/tram/gettingstarted.html[getting started guide].

== Example applications

There are numerous example applications:

* https://github.com/eventuate-tram/eventuate-tram-core-examples-basic[Basic examples]

== Transactional messaging

Send a message using `MessageProducer`:

```java
public interface MessageProducer {
void send(String destination, Message message);
}
```

Receive messages using:

```java
public interface MessageConsumer {
void subscribe(String subscriberId, Set channels, MessageHandler handler);
}
```

See this example of https://github.com/eventuate-tram/eventuate-tram-core-examples-basic/blob/master/eventuate-tram-examples-common/src/main/java/io/eventuate/tram/examples/basic/messages/AbstractTramMessageTest.java[transactional messaging].

=== Transactional domain events

The domain event package builds on the core APIs.

Publish domain events using the `DomainEventPublisher` interface:

```java
public interface DomainEventPublisher {

void publish(String aggregateType, Object aggregateId, List domainEvents);
...
```

Subscribe to domain events using a `DomainEventDispatcher`:

```java
public class DomainEventDispatcher {
public DomainEventDispatcher(String eventDispatcherId,
DomainEventHandlers eventHandlers,
...) {
...
}
```

Handle the events using `DomainEventHandlers`:

```java
public class RestaurantOrderEventConsumer {

public DomainEventHandlers domainEventHandlers() {
return DomainEventHandlersBuilder
.forAggregateType("net.chrisrichardson.ftgo.restaurantservice.Restaurant")
.onEvent(RestaurantMenuRevised.class, this::reviseMenu)
.build();
}

public void reviseMenu(DomainEventEnvelope de) {
```

See this example of https://github.com/eventuate-tram/eventuate-tram-core-examples-basic/blob/master/eventuate-tram-examples-common/src/main/java/io/eventuate/tram/examples/basic/events/AbstractTramEventTest.java[transaction events].

== Transactional commands

Transaction commands are implemented using transactional messaging.

Send a command using a `CommandProducer`:

```java
public interface CommandProducer {
String send(String channel, Command command, String replyTo, Map headers);
...
}
```

Subscribe to commands using a `CommandDispatcher`:

```java
public class CommandDispatcher {

public CommandDispatcher(String commandDispatcherId,
CommandHandlers commandHandlers) {
...
}
```

Handle commands and send a reply using `CommandHandlers`:

```java
public class OrderCommandHandlers {

public CommandHandlers commandHandlers() {
return CommandHandlersBuilder
.fromChannel("orderService")
.onMessage(ApproveOrderCommand.class, this::approveOrder)
...
.build();
}

public Message approveOrder(CommandMessage cm) {
ApproveOrderCommand command = cm.getCommand();
...
}

```

See this example of https://github.com/eventuate-tram/eventuate-tram-core-examples-basic/blob/master/eventuate-tram-examples-common/src/main/java/io/eventuate/tram/examples/basic/commands/AbstractTramCommandTest.java[transactional commands].

== Running the CDC service

In addition to a database and message broker, you will need to run the Eventuate Tram CDC service.
It reads events inserted into the database and publishes them to the message broker.
It is written using Spring Boot.
The easiest way to run this service during development is to use Docker Compose.
The https://github.com/eventuate-tram/eventuate-tram-core-examples-basic[Eventuate Tram Code Basic examples] project has an example docker-compose.yml file.
