Event Sourcing

By: Bryan Reynolds | 06 July, 2021

Event Sourcing is a carefully architected tracking database that has become the alternative to tracking and maintaining an application's state. It records state changes, corresponding changes, as well as a chronological sequence of events, while providing additional details on how and why the transition of data has occurred. In comparison to traditional methods that only keep the latest version of an application's state, Event Sourcing allows the developer to record and recreate previous states from the event logs.
