I've only suggested event sourcing once, and that was for keeping physical warehouse inventory synced with orders. I.e. instead of having like a database table with a "available product count", we made a view that calculated "product stock minus pending orders" on the fly at any given timestamp. Very efficient, simple and easy to debug. But as a general system architectural pattern it does seem to create more issues than it solves. Just look at the MailService example in the article. Dude, just use a queue...

Good approach. Much of software engineering is applying principals like event sourcing judiciously. Why does the whole system need to be in one architecture?
