Greg Young reflects on ten years of Domain-Driven Design, CQRS, and Event Sourcing, explaining where these patterns apply and how to keep them simple.

Domain-Driven Design Europe 2016 - Brussels, January 26-29, 2016 - Organised by Aardling (aardling.eu/) dddeurope.com newsletter.dddeurope.com/ be.linkedin.com/company/domain-driven-design-europe bsky.app/profile/dddeu.bsky.social mastodon.social/@dddeu@m.aardling.social Gregory Young coined the term “CQRS” (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) and it was instantly picked up by the community who have elaborated upon it ever since. Greg is an independent consultant and serial entrepreneur. He has 15+ years of varied experience in computer science from embedded operating systems to business systems and he brings a pragmatic and often times unusual viewpoint to discussions. He’s a frequent contributor to InfoQ, speaker/trainer at Skills Matter and also a well-known speaker at international conferences. Greg also writes about CQRS, DDD and other hot topics on codebetter.com.

On “Why Are People into Event Sourcing?”

…command classes, which take over the persistence job, and move the app layer towards talking only to those commands. Still CRUD under the covers, but now there's an abstraction layer above it, and as you get a better delineation of boundaries you start to see where the services will fall out of it and what areas might benefit from ES the most. 1 link to this video…

On “Why Are People into Event Sourcing?”

> Moving everything to be an event completely throws this out the window. This is either an antipattern or unrelated to event-sourcing depending on how you read it. "Event sourced" means that state within a transaction boundary is built ONLY through events which are regarded as persistent and immutable; evented is the term I'll use for state which is built when events happen, when those events may or may not be recorded, and may happen before or after state is changed and are independent of the state change. If you meant "evented" then I would say that there are lots of message-based systems that aren't failing hard, and a lot that are, which says to me that there are patterns some of those…

On “Event Sourcing is Hard”

It is worrying that a central figure to Event Sourcing & CQRS like Greg Young reduces the "framework" to a function, a pattern match & a left fold. Linked in the article link to this video

On “My Workplace Disallows APIs”

…nt sourcing. From what I understand, it's useful within bounded context/domain/app. I.e., from the outside you'd never know an app is event sourced (it's an implementation detail). Event sourcing is fantastic. My concern is with cross-app event sourcing: N copies of data/events across N apps. Greg Young strongly advises against this in this video: link to this video I have no idea how this came about. I think it's mainly driven by one engineer. I don't think it's related to any issues related to APIs in the past, in fact I'm not sure they've ever had APIs. There are numerous issues that have come up due to the nature of this system. These are mostly internal apps not used by that many people. Scale isn…
