October has been a busy month for EventCatalog. The community has grown from 800 Discord members to 856, with 360 new Catalogs created and over 120 organizations actively using EventCatalog.

EventCatalog got a new gold sponsor Gravitee and Hookdeck continues their sponsorship 🙏, this is a great step towards open source sustainability. If you would like to sponsor the project you can check out the tiers on GitHub or contact me directly at dave@eventcatalog.dev.

;

In many distributed architectures, domains and services communicate through different types of messages, typically categorized as events, commands, and queries.

EventCatalog now includes support for documenting queries, allowing you to clearly outline which queries a service accepts and which it invokes. Queries are often seen in protocols such as HTTP and gRPC.

Introducing EventCatalog v2

Event-driven architectures share a common challenge: their complexity can quickly escalate as more domains, services, and messages are added.

As business requirements evolve and teams adapt, governing and understanding this distributed architecture becomes increasingly difficult. What begins as a straightforward system often transforms into a complex structure with minimal documentation and discoverability, leaving most people struggling to comprehend it (I share my thoughts on EDA complexity in this GOTO EDA Day 2024 keynote).

In January 2022 EventCatalog v1 was launched to help bring discoverability and documentation to event-driven architectures. Since its inception, EventCatalog has seen over 13,000 catalogs created, attracted 45 contributors, grown a community of more than 600 members on Discord and was added to Thoughtworks Technology Radar.

The growing popularity of EventCatalog in recent years highlights the challenges of complexity in building event-driven architectures. It also highlights the importance of discoverability and documentation. That's why I'm excited to announce the release of EventCatalog v2.
