This is lack of abstraction. You can certainly fix this in kafka using various hacks, but its implementation of an abstraction you can get in a standard db for free. Funnily enough a list of events is pretty much what a transaction log is in a standard db. Although the events have more of a business meaning. In many ways event sourcing is removing a lot of abstraction databases give you. |

Yes, ACID works for one database. Many databases? Not so much.

When I "SELECT Balance WHERE user = 12345", I usually just get back a balance, I don't get back the transaction log.
If nothing else, adopting the Kafka model gets your teammates to append updates to your ledger, rather than changing values in-place.
