Event Sourcing – Technical Detail or Architectural Powerhorse?

by Allard Buijze

Event Sourcing has seen a popularity boost in the last 10 years. With that come both proponents as well as opponents. It’s too complex according to one. For another, it’s the best way they have ever built their system. Yet others argue that it’s merely an implementation detail that doesn’t deserve any architect’s attention.

In this session, Allard will share his findings after 16 years of experience building, supporting, and providing guidance for event-sourced systems. What makes some implementations successful, while others fail in such horrible fashion?

After this talk, you’ll walk away with a better understanding of the potential and pitfalls of Event Sourcing, how it can be architecturally relevant, and how to successfully apply it.
