Projection Patterns

Comprehensive guide to building projections and read models for event-sourced systems.

When to Use This Skill

  • Building CQRS read models
  • Creating materialized views from events
  • Optimizing query performance
  • Implementing real-time dashboards
  • Building search indexes from events
  • Aggregating data across streams

Core Concepts

1. Projection Architecture

Best Practices

Do's

  • Make projections idempotent - Safe to replay
  • Use transactions - For multi-table updates
  • Store checkpoints - Resume after failures
  • Monitor lag - Alert on projection delays
  • Plan for rebuilds - Design for reconstruction

Don'ts

  • Don't couple projections - Each is independent
  • Don't skip error handling - Log and alert on failures
  • Don't ignore ordering - Events must be processed in order
  • Don't over-normalize - Denormalize for query patterns
