Doesn't that also falls on the "blame the database engines and go for an experimental solution"?

I'm not saying databases are blameless. It's just that experiencing the issues they have by yourself is rewarding!

There is also a walk before the long walk of databases. Store things in text files and use basic tools (cat, sed, sh...).

The event driven stuff (like Kafka) reminds me of that. I am not very familiar with it though, just played a little bit with it once or twice.

Kind of, the WAL in postgres is effectively an event log, and many people keep replicas of it for backup reasons, which is auditable, kind of meaning that an EDA/Event source is just a shinier version of that?
