EventSourcingDB 1.3.0 Is Available

By · Published by Everything Blog

In short

The updated release optimizes read, write, and EventQL performance while packing indexes into fewer files to accelerate queries in high-volume environments. Safeguards now protect operations by enforcing default rate limits, bounding idle connections, limiting query memory, and automatically transitioning to read-only mode during write failures like full disks. A coexisting v2 API introduces structured response bodies, stream heartbeats, and support for the HTTP QUERY method across all eight client SDKs. Furthermore, data management is streamlined via single-line CloudEvents for easier personal data scrubbing alongside incremental backups that record only new events.

Next to all that, it brings a new API that reports the outcome of every request it accepts in its body and names every error with a code of its own.

This post walks through what changed and what to mind when you upgrade. The v1 API is supported until January 31, 2027, and a later release removes it, so you can move to the new one at your own pace. And from today on, the documentation of EventSourcingDB lives on eventfoundation.io; every old link leads there.

A New API, Built to Last#

The new v2 API runs next to the v1 API, on the same data. Its central idea is simple: once the server has accepted a request, its outcome is in the body. A request counts as accepted when it is authenticated, its body has the shape…
