CloudEvents

CloudEvents logo

Events are everywhere. However, event publishers tend to describe events differently.

The lack of a common way of describing events means developers must constantly re-learn how to receive events. This also limits the potential for libraries, tooling and infrastructure to aide the delivery of event data across environments, like SDKs, event routers or tracing systems. The portability and productivity we can achieve from event data is hindered overall.

Enter CloudEvents, a specification for describing event data in a common way. CloudEvents seeks to ease event declaration and delivery across services, platforms and beyond.

CloudEvents has received a large amount of industry interest, ranging from major cloud providers to popular SaaS companies. CloudEvents is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and was approved as a Cloud Native sandbox level project on May 15, 2018.

CloudEvents Documents

The following specifications are available:

Latest Release Working Draft
CloudEvents v0.1 master
HTTP Transport Binding v0.1 master
JSON Event Format v0.1 master
Web hook - master
NATS Transport Binding - master
AMQP Event Format - master
AMQP Transport Binding - master

There is also the CloudEvents documented extension attributes document and a CloudEvents Primer to help understand some of the history and design goals of the project.

Community

Learn more about the people and organizations who are creating a dynamic cloud native ecosystem by making our systems interoperable with CloudEvents.

  • Contributors: people and organizations who helped us get started or are actively working on the CloudEvents specification.
  • Coming soon: demos & open source -- if you have something to share about your use of CloudEvents, please submit a PR!

Process

The CloudEvents project is working to formalize the specification based on design goals which focus on interoperability between systems which generate and respond to events.

In order to achieve these goals, the project must describe:

  • Common attributes of an event that facilitate interoperability
  • One or more common architectures that are in active use today or planned to be built by its members
  • How events are transported from producer to consumer via at least one protocol
  • Identify and resolve whatever else is needed for interoperability

Communications

And a #cloudevents Slack channel under CNCF's Slack workspace.
