Synergy in Action: Event Storming + Event Sourcing

Event Storming and Event Sourcing Architecture is an extremely effective combo to use in complex domains, greatly simplifying tasks while raising performance, scalability, and responsiveness.

The essence of this approach is learning to think in terms of events. It is a mindset shift, but did you ever wonder how old this approach is? Since when did mankind use event sourcing?

During this presentation, we will first apply Event Storming to analyze a simple real-life problem. Starting from the events we've identified on our Miro board, we'll then model the solution and describe the architecture to implement it.

Agenda:

• Introduction to Event Storming via a simple example
• Event-driven vs Event Sourcing architecture
• Example of a simple REST API implemented using Spring Boot and PostgreSQL
• (optional) More elaborate architecture example for a non-blocking system using Kafka and Kafka Streams
• Continuous debates on questions from the audience.
