Our applications have so much going on! Slow page loads and a large legacy codebase make developers feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. In this session, Emily covers the basics of Event Sourcing and ways that Event Sourcing has helped real projects.

Emily helps the audience explore a strategy to add a modern codebase alongside the legacy code, allowing them to run simultaneously until you replace the legacy code. She also discusses common legacy problems like complex database queries causing slowdowns and large reports that take so long to load, users must wait instead of analyzing the data. As systems grow, we may need to separate our application into distinct parts and pass relevant information between them. Or maybe we have two distinct codebases that are affected by each other's changes in unexpected ways. Emily examines how to add Event Sourcing and CQRS to these pain points and throw away that legacy spaghetti!
