Presentation: Event Sourcing

Track: Leading & Bleeding Edge - Day 1 / Time: Monday 13:20 - 14:10 / Location: Auditorium, AROS

Event Sourcing has been becoming more and more popular over the last few years. Greg has been talking, teaching, and innovating in the Event Sourcing space since 2006. This talk will look in depth at what Event Sourcing is, when it may be valuable (more importantly when its not), and how problems can change when looked at through a different lens. There are many trade offs, misconceptions, and of course FUD associated around Event Sourcing, hopefully we can sort them all out.
