Event Sourcing

Description

Event Sourcing stores the state of a business entity as a sequence of state-changing events. Whenever the state of a business entity changes, a new event is appended to the list of events. The current state is reconstructed by replaying the events.

Where to use

  • Audit logging and compliance.
    • \n
  • Financial ledgers and accounting systems.
    • \n
  • Complex domains where history is important (DDD).

Real World Example

A Bank Account. Instead of storing 'Balance: 100', we store [Deposited 50, Withdrew 10, Deposited 60]. The balance is calculated on the fly.
