State or Events - Which Shall I Keep

Explore the practical implementation of event sourcing versus traditional ORM-based approaches in this 46-minute live coding session from Devoxx. Compare the benefits and challenges of both methodologies as two developers simultaneously build features using different models. Gain insights into stakeholder concerns like time-to-market, complex data reporting, and feature extensibility, as well as developer considerations such as learning curves and unit testing. Dive into key concepts including event sourcing, CQRS, distributed systems, Spring Cloud Stream, eventual consistency, and zero downtime deployments. Evaluate the trade-offs between state-based and event-based architectures to determine the best approach for your projects.
