Patterns and best practices

These are proven architectural patterns that leverage npayload's messaging primitives to solve common distributed systems challenges. Each pattern includes full SDK examples, scaling guidance, and anti-patterns to avoid.

Fan-out

Deliver one message to multiple independent consumers with isolated delivery and error handling

Saga orchestration

Coordinate multi-step distributed transactions with compensating actions for reliable rollback

Event sourcing

Use streams as the source of truth and rebuild state by replaying domain events

CQRS

Separate read and write paths using channels, streams, and compacted state for optimized performance
