started with projections Hooks into Laravel's native events Replay capabilities No aggregates
Summary EventSauce Framework agnostic Support for aggregates, process modelling No
replay capabilities out of the box https://github.com/spatie/laravel-eventsauce
Writes are harder, reads are easier
Event sourcing makes the easy things harder… …and the harder
