Getting Started with Event Sourcing in Rails

Getting started with Event Sourcing doesn't require a full-on migration to microservices or a re-write of existing Rails apps. Event Sourcing is as useful in a Rails app as it is critical to microservices.

This presentation puts Event Sourcing in-context in a Rails app, and demonstrates how to dramatically simplify model code and database design, and remove excess complexity from the day-to-day lives of Rails developers.

Amongst topics to be covered will be Entities, Projections, Events, Stores, and Caches, CQRS, View Data, and their integration with Rails applications.
