A month ago I was trying to implement something redux-like on the backend. Check it out [1]. Its a PoC, events a stored into mongo and a reducer is applying them to produce state (projection). I added another component called decider, which essentially has access to state and then decides for each event whether to process or not! Could be part of reducer but I thought it was nice to split that!

Next step for improvement would be to split event receiving side and event displaying side to get CQSR pattern.

I didn’t write any docs or so, it was just playing around! In the index.js there are some routes that store events and some that show you projection of state.

I really hope event sourcing will get more traction. The idea that you defer building your state model is in my opinion incredibly strong. But there are some open questions that i find hard to answer! Like instant feedback to client, replayabolity of side effects, ensuring ordering when having multiple services etc!
