Are there SQS events generated for a delete action?

Question

Does Retlio generate SQS events when a profile is soft deleted?
Does Retlio generate SQS events when a profile is hard deleted?

Answer

Yes, Reltio generates Amazon SQS events for both soft and hard delete actions performed on entities.

 Event Types for Delete Actions

• Soft Delete: When an entity is soft deleted (i.e., marked as inactive without being permanently removed), Reltio emits an ENTITY_CHANGED event. This event indicates that the entity's status has changed, but the entity still exists in the system.
• Hard Delete: When an entity is hard deleted (i.e., permanently removed), Reltio emits an ENTITY_REMOVED event. This event signifies that the entity has been completely deleted from the system.

Event Streaming to External Queues

These events are streamed to external queues such as Amazon SQS, Google Cloud Pub/Sub, or Microsoft Azure Service Bus, depending on your tenant's configuration. You can configure which events to stream and filter them based on event type or object attributes using the External Queues configuration in the Reltio Console.

 Considerations

• Event Payload: The payload of the ENTITY_CHANGED event includes details about the changes made to the entity, while the ENTITY_REMOVED event indicates that the entity has been removed but does not include additional details.
• Event Processing: Event processing in Reltio is asynchronous, and events are processed in the order they are received. However, due to the parallel processing nature of the platform, the exact order of event delivery cannot be guaranteed.
