Arc Runtime 3.xUpdated Jul 18, 2026

Does Arcwell guarantee exactly-once delivery?

No. Arcwell provides durable at-least-once delivery. Exactly-once effects require an idempotent handler and a transactional boundary in the system that owns the side effect.

Can I change an event schema?

You can add optional fields to a compatible version. Removing fields, changing types, or changing meaning requires a new major signal version.

How long are events retained?

Retention is configured per stream from 24 hours to 13 months. Local workspaces retain data until arcctl dev stops unless a local volume is configured.

Where can I get help?
