As I scale systems, everything always points to event sourcing as being a good way to increase scale even further. I’ve been places that started down that path, but nothing that actually made it to production processing millions or more events.

Anyone out there have any stories about event sourcing in production at scale?

@kjg in my small-mid-scale experience with this, the edge-cases get annoying enough too quickly to survive for long.

Unless you’re doing things that are literally messaging systems (logs, IM, mail…) where you don’t have to worry about coherence at the data/transfer layer.

@janl @kjg if you keep it brutally simple and/or your business IS genuinely "evented" or like jan says can be message-shaped then I'm saying yes to scale. but you'll need to add "distributed" to the mix.
