Don't Let the Internet Dupe You, Event Sourcing is Hard 🌈

I'm going to give it to you straight: Event Sourcing actually comes with drawbacks. 🤷🏻‍♂️

If you've read anything about the topic on the internet this will surely shock you. 🤨

After all, it's commonly sold as one big fat bag of sunshine and rainbows. ✨

You got some kind of a problem❓
Turns out its actually solved by event sourcing ❗️
In fact, most of your life troubles up till now were probably directly caused by your lack of event sourcing.

You, having been seduced by the internet, are probably off to start your event sourcing journey and begin living the good life. ✅

Well, before you do that, I'm here to ruin it for you and tell you that event sourcing is not actually a bag filled with pure joy, but instead a bag filled with mines designed to blow your legs off and leave you to a crippled life filled with pain. ♿️

Event Sourcing is Hard ‼️

Understanding The Mindset of Event Sourcing 🧠

As Event Sourcing (ES) becomes more and more mainstream, usually bundled with DDD and CQRS, it's important for domain modellers, application architects and etc to understand the paradigm behind the recipe. ✅

In the 'classical' approach, the domain state is seen as a data structure or a collection of data structures (entities data). 🗂

In ES we see the domain state as a collection of changes. ♻️

You may wonder how we've got here and why this is the preferred way of working for many DDD practitioners ⁉️
