Best Practices

AsyncAPI Specification

A standard, machine-readable format for describing event-driven and message-based APIs across protocols like Kafka, MQTT, and AMQP, analogous to OpenAPI for REST.

by AsyncAPI Initiative (Linux Foundation)

Patterns

Publish-Subscribe

Decouples senders from receivers by routing messages through a broker or channel so publishers and subscribers never reference each other.

Transactional Outbox

Reliably publishes messages by writing them to an outbox table in the same local transaction as the business data change.

Change Data Capture (CDC)

Captures row-level changes from a database's transaction log and streams them as events to downstream consumers.

Scatter-Gather

Broadcasts a request to multiple recipients in parallel, then aggregates their replies into a single response.

Message Channel

Connects two applications with a logical pipe so a sender can transmit data to a receiver without knowing the receiver's location or identity.

Point-to-Point Channel

Ensures exactly one receiver consumes each message on a channel, even when multiple consumers compete, so a message is processed once.

Publish-Subscribe Channel

Broadcasts each message to all interested subscribers so one event can notify many independent consumers without the publisher knowing them.

Message Filter

Lets only messages meeting specified criteria pass through a channel and silently discards the rest, so consumers receive only relevant messages.

Polling Consumer

A consumer that explicitly checks a channel for messages on its own schedule, controlling exactly when and how fast it receives them.

Event-Driven Consumer

A consumer that is invoked by the messaging system the moment a message arrives, reacting to messages instead of polling for them.

Idempotent Receiver

Makes a consumer safely handle duplicate messages so that processing the same message more than once has the same effect as processing it once.

Dead Letter Channel

Routes messages that cannot be delivered or processed to a dedicated channel for inspection and recovery instead of discarding or blocking them.

Guaranteed Delivery

Persists messages so they are not lost if the sender, broker, or receiver fails, ensuring each message is eventually delivered despite outages.

Correlation Identifier

Tags messages with a unique id that links related messages together, so a reply can be matched to its request and parts to their whole.

Dead-Letter Queue

Routes messages that cannot be processed after repeated attempts to a separate queue for inspection and recovery, keeping the main pipeline flowing.

Poison Message Handling

Detects and quarantines messages that repeatedly crash or block a consumer, preventing one bad message from stalling an entire queue.

Tutorials

How to decouple services with Amazon SQS

Use Amazon SQS queues to decouple producers and consumers, with dead-letter queues and Lambda triggers.

How to fan out events with Amazon SNS

Publish events to an Amazon SNS topic and fan them out to multiple SQS queues and Lambda subscribers.

How to route events with Amazon EventBridge

Build an event-driven workflow with Amazon EventBridge using event buses, rules, and pattern-based routing.

1. Upgrade EOL runtime in node-turborepo
End-of-life runtimes no longer receive security patches and block ecosystem upgrades.
./.
>=18.0.0 → 24.0.0 (6 majors behind)
Impact: −10 drift points (runtime & EOL)
 
2. Fix security posture: no lockfile found
Without a lockfile, installs are non-deterministic. Run the install command to generate one and commit it.
./
Missing: package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, or yarn.lock
 
3. Upgrade Vite 5.4.21 → 8.2.1 in @repo/admin (+2 more)
3 major versions behind. Major framework drift increases breaking change risk and blocks access to security fixes and performance improvements.

./apps/api
Vitest: 1.6.1 → 4.1.10 (3 majors behind)
./packages/utils
Vitest: 1.6.1 → 4.1.10 (3 majors behind)
Impact: −5–15 drift points
 
4. Reduce dependency rot in @repo/types (100% severely outdated)
1 of 1 dependencies are 2+ majors behind. Run `npm outdated` and prioritise packages with known CVEs or breaking API changes.
