Best Practices

Transformation Endpoint Design

  • Performance: Keep transformations efficient to minimize latency
  • Validation: Include validation logic to ensure correctly formatted output
  • Error Handling: Return descriptive error messages when transformation fails
  • Logging: Log important events for debugging purposes

Configuration Management

  • Test Thoroughly: Always test your transformations with sample data before deploying to production
  • Start with Defaults: Use the global default transformations as a starting point
  • Versioning: Consider including version information in your endpoint paths
  • Documentation: Document your transformations for future reference

Implementation

  • Backward Compatibility: Ensure transformations maintain backward compatibility
  • Gradual Rollout: Start with less critical entity types before applying to core business events
  • Monitoring: Set up monitoring to track transformation performance and errors
