The International Association of Software Architects (IASA) in Israel organized a special event about Adaptive Software Systems. We invited Vladik Khononov to give a talk about “Introduction to Event Sourcing”.

Title: Introduction to Event Sourcing

Abstract: Event sourcing is a pattern for modeling the application’s business logic. It states that all changes to application state should be defined and stored as a sequence of events. Its advantages are many:

• Gives freedom to refactor the business logic, allowing better response to new requirements.
• Suitable for building scalable, highly concurrent, distributed systems.
• Stored events give the true history of a system, which is required by law in some industries.
• The system’s state can be reversed to any point in the past for retroactive debugging.
• The required infrastructure is simple – no monstrous databases are involved.

Vladik will also describe CQRS, an architecture that goes hand in hand with Event Sourcing.

Bio: Vladik Khononov is a software engineer with 15 years’ expertise in building web and enterprise applications for leading Israeli and global companies.
