Presented by: Eldert Grootenboer
Time: Thursday 1:00 PM - 2:00 PMIn recent years the Event Sourcing pattern has become increasingly popular. By storing a history of events it enables us to decouple the storage of data from the implementation of the logic around it. And we can rebuild the state of our data to any point in time, giving us a wide range of...
