Using Eventeum with multiple different applications about eventeum

[craigwilliams84]

Hey Chang, thats correct. Right now Eventeum doesn't support different topics / queues for different event specifications, so a single instance for multiple apps is not natively supported. One option is to perform some topic message filtering at the consumer as you mentioned. Another is to implement a service between eventeum and the applications, that consumes all eventeum messages and forwards them to application specific topics, based on some configuration. I hope that makes sense.

Yes! That makes sense. I guess this opens up two other questions.

1. Does this mean the intended way to use Eventeum is to have one instance running with its own isolated Kafka for each application?
2. Are there any plans to add additional user defined topics (for different applications) for Eventeum to push events into?

Thanks for the help!

Hey sorry about the delayed response.

1. Yes, you're correct, Thats how Eventeum is designed to be used right now.
2. I think this functionality would be cool, and its something that I've thought about. I think if this was to be implemented, it could be in the form of an Eventeum add-on service kind of like what I described in my previous comment, sitting in the middle between the generic eventeum topics and application specific ones. This isn't in the roadmap right now though, unfortunately. :(
