I'm late to this party but I'll chime in anyway - I love event sourcing. So much so that I actually built a company around it (and got into YC S20) - https://batch.sh

Event sourcing is not easy but the benefits are huge - not only from a software architecture perspective but from a systems perspective - you gain a whole lot of additional platform reliability.

There are roughly 3 pillars to event sourcing that have to be built (most of the time) from scratch - storing events (forever), reading stored events, replaying stored events.

Those are the 3 things I've built at several companies and it is always a huge barrier to someone taking up the pattern. Of course there are more things under the hood, but those are foundational pieces that will make the whole experience much better.

Would love to chat with folks who want to nerd out over this stuff :-)
