The life beyond event sourcing: Why building event sourcing strategy is awesome and dangerous

Secondary topics: Best Practice, Case Study

Biharck Araujo (ThoughtWorks)

Average rating:

(4.25, 4 ratings)

When it comes to building complex systems architectures, teams often begin with strategies such as event drive and, in some cases, even sourcing approaches. What some forget is that details in postproduction might generate more problems than solutions. Biharck Araújo shares real use cases that illustrate the most essential parts of the event sourcing methodology and common mistakes to avoid. Read more.
