What is the Listen to Yourself Pattern? | Designing Event-Driven Microservices

Feb 29, 2024 By Confluent In Confluent
The Listen to Yourself pattern is implemented by having a microservice emit an event to a platform such as Apache Kafka, and then consuming its own events to perform internal updates. It can be used as a solution to the dual-write problem since it separates Kafka and database writes into different processes. However, it also provides added benefits because it allows microservices to respond quickly to requests by deferring processing to a later time.

Event Sourcing is a pattern of storing an object's state as a series of events. Each time the object is updated a new event is written to an append-only log. When the object is loaded from the database, the events are replayed in order, reapplying the necessary changes. The benefit of this approach is that it stores a full history of the object. This can be valuable for debugging, auditing, building new models, and a variety of other situations. It is also a technique that can be used to solve the dual-write problem when working with event-driven architectures.

What is the Transactional Outbox Pattern? | Designing Event-Driven Microservices

Feb 8, 2024 By Confluent In Confluent
The transactional outbox pattern leverages database transactions to update a microservice's state and an outbox table.

This technique is used to overcome the dual-write problem which occurs when you have to write data to two separate systems such as a database and Apache Kafka. The database transactions can be used to ensure atomic writes between the two tables. From there, a separate process can consume the outbox and update the external system as required.
