Event Catalog Example

EDA documentation is important.

Over time our Event Driven Architectures (EDA) grow and it can become difficult to discover and understand our events, schemas, producers, consumers and services. EventCatalog is built to help you document, visualise and keep on top of your Event Driven Architectures.

Testimonials

EventCatalog is helping developers around the world 🌎

“Creating easy to maintain and easy to consume API and event documentation that is always up to date has been one of the most consistent challenges of my career. EventCatalog has become the keystone tool to finally make it possible.”

Adam Fanello
@Strategic Cloud Software Architect, Rackspace Technology

“EventCatalog unlocked the power to visualise events and flows. It simplifies event documentation, providing a clear and comprehensive view of all our events, producers, and consumers. It's the essential tool that was missing in my documentation process.”

Tim Haselaars
@Product Manager , Apideck

“When I started to work with EDA 4 years ago, I always wondering how to document events across the organization with easy access and useful for all stakeholders, recently I discovered Event Catalog which has been amazing because it automated the creation of EventBridge event powered by the plugging you created, big thanks!”

Daniel Castillo
@Software Architect, Propelus

“EventCatalog does a tremendous job in bringing transparency to our landscape. With it's visualisation features it's easy to identify stakeholders for event changes.”

Benjamin Otto
