Maturity: M1 · Ownership: application-managed · Family: event-sourcing · See audit, matrix.

Cephalon.EventSourcing is the runtime-neutral event-sourcing baseline for Cephalon.

See also: Engine surface maturity audit, Conformance matrix, and Runtime contract index for the per-package adoption-truth, maturity (M1, application-managed), ownership, and the IEventStoreCatalog / snapshot.* runtime-key inventory that the event-sourcing baseline projects against. Engineering standards records the library-design and code-quality baseline the contract layer ships against; Long-range engine direction frames why event-sourcing stays a host-agnostic baseline with a separate snapshot contract that provider packages (Cephalon.EventSourcing.EntityFramework, .MongoDb, .Redis, .Nats, and the wider catalog) plug into additively, rather than fusing stream and snapshot persistence into a single provider.

What it owns

Section titled “What it owns”
  • host-agnostic contracts for domain events, event stores, aggregate replay, snapshots, and event-stream catalogs
  • low-ceremony registration through AddEventSourcing(...) for hosts that want one shared event-sourcing baseline
  • a merged IEventStoreCatalog built from IEventStoreContributor registrations
  • aggregate hydration through AggregateHydrator<TAggregate, TState> on top of IEventStore
  • a truthful event-sourcing runtime surface that reports active stream count, default provider, and snapshot toggle state

Main surfaces

Section titled “Main surfaces”
  • Configuration/EventSourcingOptions.cs
  • Hosting/EventSourcingServiceCollectionExtensions.cs
  • Registration/EventSourcingEngineBuilderExtensions.cs
  • Services/AggregateHydrator.cs
  • Services/EventStreamCatalog.cs
  • Services/EventStreamRegistry.cs

Contracts overview

Section titled “Contracts overview”

The host-agnostic contracts live under Cephalon.Abstractions.EventSourcing.

  • IDomainEvent and DomainEvent define the minimum stream identity, version, and occurrence timestamp for persisted events
  • IEventStore defines append, stream read, and current-version lookup
  • IAggregate<TState> defines deterministic state transitions during replay
  • ISnapshotStore is declared now so future providers can add snapshot support without changing the baseline contract
  • EventStreamDescriptor, IEventStoreContributor, IEventStoreRegistry, and IEventStoreCatalog keep active event-stream answers introspectable

Entity Framework provider usage

Section titled “Entity Framework provider usage”

The first provider-backed follow-through is Cephalon.EventSourcing.EntityFramework.

Typical host wiring is:

builder.Services.AddDbContext<OrdersDbContext>(options =>
    options.UseSqlite(connectionString));


builder.Services.AddCephalonEventSourcing(options =>
{
    options.DefaultProvider = "entity-framework";
});


builder.Services.AddCephalonEntityFrameworkEventSourcing<OrdersDbContext>();

Your DbContext implements IEntityFrameworkEventContext and calls EntityFrameworkEventSourcingConfiguration.ConfigureCephalonEvents(modelBuilder) during model creation.

Concurrency semantics

Section titled “Concurrency semantics”
  • expectedVersion == -1 means the stream must not exist yet
  • append operations fail with EventStreamConcurrencyException when the current persisted version does not match the caller’s expected version
  • appended events must already carry the sequential stream versions the caller intends to persist
  • stream replay reads events ordered by StreamVersion ascending

Hydration example

Section titled “Hydration example”
var hydrator = new AggregateHydrator<OrderAggregate, OrderState>();
var (state, version) = await hydrator.HydrateAsync(eventStore, streamId, cancellationToken: ct);

AggregateHydrator does not own snapshots, projection rebuilds, or background execution. It only replays events from IEventStore through the aggregate’s Apply(...) contract.

Not shipped in this slice

Section titled “Not shipped in this slice”

This baseline intentionally does not claim:

  • snapshot persistence or snapshot-assisted replay
  • projection rebuild orchestration
  • stream archival, retention, or compaction
  • hosted background projection runners
  • event-subscription dispatch, saga orchestration, or durable consumer semantics

Those remain later slices until Cephalon can ship them truthfully.
