event-store-design

To design an event store for an event-sourced application, you need a structured approach to architecture, technology selection, and implementation patterns. This Skill offers comprehensive guides, technology comparisons, and templates to simplify the process.

The best way to choose an event store technology is to compare options like EventStoreDB, PostgreSQL, Kafka, and DynamoDB against your specific needs. This Skill provides detailed technology comparisons evaluating append-only, ordered, versioned, subscriptions, and idempotency requirements to guide your selection.

Best practices for event store implementation include establishing clear guidelines for stream IDs, managing event versions, and optimizing data storage. This Skill shares essential best practices and provides a template library to ensure your event sourcing infrastructure is robust and maintainable.

PostgreSQL can work as an event store for event sourcing, and this Skill includes direct technology comparisons between PostgreSQL, EventStoreDB, Kafka, and DynamoDB. It evaluates each option based on factors like append-only capabilities, ordering, versioning, subscriptions, and idempotency requirements.

You need an event store with subscriptions and idempotency when your event-sourced application requires reliable event streaming and duplicate event prevention. This Skill helps assess these specific infrastructure requirements to determine the appropriate event store architecture and technology.
