What is Vela?
Vela is an event intelligence platform that helps you ingest, validate, and route business events. Define schemas for your events, send them through the API, and set up notification rules to alert your team when things happen. Core concepts:- Apps — Isolated environments that own events, schemas, and rules
- Schemas — Define the shape and types of your event payloads
- Events — Structured data payloads that are validated and stored
- Notification Rules — Conditional alerts routed to Slack, Discord, or email
