Event Sourcing Basics

Store changes as events

In event sourcing, every change is an immutable event; current state is derived by replaying events, enabling auditability and temporal queries but requiring careful versioning and projections.

Core Idea

Persist events, not only final state; rebuild via replay.

Project

Create read models/projections for queries and performance.

Manage Change

Version events; handle migrations and compaction.
