zilverline/sequent

Sequent is an event sourcing framework for Ruby that manages aggregate state, command handling, and projector-based event processing. It provides a CLI for scaffolding and migration, a PostgreSQL-optimized persistor for high-performance replay, and a centralized configuration system. The library supports modern Ruby and Active Record versions, offering tools for testing, dry-run simulation, and automatic handler registration.

How it got here

2015 · Sequent 8.0 architecture and modernization

This period focused on the Sequent 8.0 release, introducing a projector-based event processing model, centralized configuration, and a new PostgreSQL-centric database schema. The team modernized the codebase by updating dependencies to Ruby 3.2+ and Active Record 7.2+, while removing deprecated components like Sinatra form helpers and in-memory sessions. Extensive test coverage was added to validate the new core abstractions and test helpers.

2017–2018 · Generator and CLI scaffolding

This period focused on establishing the Sequent framework's developer experience by introducing a comprehensive CLI and code generators. The team built out the template project structure, including database configurations, rake tasks, and test suites for aggregates, commands, and events. Additionally, the internal architecture was reorganized to support these new tools, including a new persistor module and utility libraries for debugging and caching.

18 changes

2019–2025 · Test coverage and feature expansion

This period focused on expanding test coverage for core components like persistors, transactions, and middleware, while introducing new features such as a message matching DSL, attribute matchers, and a new CLI. The work also included supporting multiple Active Record versions and enhancing database schema capabilities for event sourcing.

About this page

  • The description of this project is derived from its own commit history, not from its README.
  • The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 29 July 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit 7e3aa91c55 — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.18. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
