Deleting Aggregates

Deleting data might be considered unorthodox in the world of event sourcing but Serialized is pragmatic regarding this and allows users to delete aggregates.

Serialized supports deleting aggregates including all events, either by a single aggregateId or by aggregate type. The HTTP DELETE request will return a deleteToken valid for ten minutes.
Example deletion of an aggregate
curl -i \
  --header "Serialized-Access-Key: <YOUR_ACCESS_KEY>" \
  --header "Serialized-Secret-Access-Key: <YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>" \
  -X DELETE https://api.serialized.io/aggregates/order
​
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

...
​
{
  "deleteToken": "3c159b36-2840-480b-b436-fa69ac21d5e4"
}
To permanently delete the aggregate(s), re-issue the DELETE request with the deleteToken appended as a query parameter.
Delete aggregate permanently
curl -i \
  --header "Serialized-Access-Key: <YOUR_ACCESS_KEY>" \
  --header "Serialized-Secret-Access-Key: <YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>" \
  -X DELETE https://api.serialized.io/aggregates/order?deleteToken=3c159b36-2840-480b-b436-fa69ac21d5e4
