How To Choose A Brooks Package Entry Point

When To Use This Page

Use this page when you know the problem belongs to Brooks but you still need the first package boundary.

Before You Begin

• Read the Brooks overview.
• Confirm that the question is about the stream substrate rather than a higher-level consumer.

Steps

1. Choose Mississippi.Brooks.Abstractions for the event-stream contracts.
2. Choose Mississippi.Brooks.Runtime for runtime stream services.
3. Choose Mississippi.Brooks.Serialization.Abstractions for serializer contracts.
4. Choose Mississippi.Brooks.Serialization.Json for the JSON serializer implementation.
5. Switch to Tributary or Domain Modeling if the real issue is above the stream layer.

Verify The Result

• You should be able to explain whether your task is about stream contracts, runtime stream services, or serializer boundaries.

Summary

Choose Brooks packages by stream responsibility first, then move upward only when the problem is no longer the stream substrate.

Next Steps

• Use Brooks Reference for the currently verified surface.
• Use Brooks Troubleshooting if the boundary still is not clear.
