The article features an interview with Frank, a managing director at Digital Frontiers and architect of OpenCQRS, discussing the framework's development and its departure from traditional CQRS principles, particularly the abandonment of the aggregate pattern in favor of a more flexible event-driven approach. Frank emphasizes the importance of focusing on relevant events rather than rigid structures, encouraging developers to adapt their mindset accordingly.
The article discusses SierraDB, a distributed event store built in Rust, designed to address the specific needs of event sourcing in software development. It highlights the limitations of general-purpose databases for event sourcing and explains how SierraDB offers predictable performance, efficient stream reading, and built-in subscriptions, making it a powerful solution for managing event logs. The architecture details its partitioning model, which supports horizontal scaling and guarantees sequential event versioning.
