Description

A/C

  • An ADR detailing how new events will be rolled out to the community

Since https://github.com/openedx/openedx-events/pull/249, new events can be added to the event bus via configuration only (no code changes). Some options for how we would roll out new events:

  1. All events are off by default. New events are added to the configuration map in the producing service's configuration file with enabled=False so people know what events are available
  2. All events are on by default. New events are added to the configuration map in the config with enabled=True
  3. All new events start disabled by default, but are updated to be enabled by default as part of a planned release (with the change noted in the release notes)
