Agreed it was a pretty poor read, no matter how many emojis the author uses. The linked material is a bit better. [0]

Agreed. I found the referenced article[0] far more useful as a guide for how rather than why.

Hi,
I've ported the kickstarter's event sourcing framework (https://kickstarter.engineering/event-sourcing-made-simple-4...) to Go. It's similar to the flux architecture in the backend.
Any feedback is welcome.
