Context and Problem Statement¶

When raising domain events the events themselves need to store data. These events will be serialized / deserialized when they are processed by the outbox pattern.

Considered Options¶

1. Wrap aggregates in domain events
2. Store properties individually

Decision Outcome¶

Chosen option: "2 - Store properties individually", because it allows the outbox pattern to deserialize the domain events.

Pros and Cons of the Options ¶

1. Wrap aggregates in domain events¶

• ✅ Easy to create and publish domain events
• ❌ Outbox pattern can't deserialize the domain events due to the private constructors

2. Store properties individually¶

• ✅ Outbox pattern can deserialize the domain events
• ❌ More verbose implementation
