Event Sourcing Beginner Myth: Reads are always stale. Simply FALSE!! ❌❌❌ It's true that read models from your read database are generally stale. It's a cache and you don't have to read from it all the time!! You can just read the most up-to-date events directly from the event store, build your read model in memory, and return it back to the user. (Tip: Read models does not have to be persisted) This might use a little more compute, but if you only have to read dozens of events, that's not a big deal. If you have to read tens of thousands of events and it's too slow, then you can use snapshots, or consider redesigning your stream and splitting it into shorter ones. If stale read is OK ➡️ Read from read database (i.e. your cache) ✅ If stale read is NOT OK ➡️ Read from event store (i.e. your source of truth) ✅ #Kurrent #KurrentDB #EventSourcing #CQRS #EventDrivenArchitecture #SoftwareArchitecture #EnterpriseArchitecture #MythBuster

Most companies are racing to deploy AI agents. The biggest blocker isn't the model, it's the data behind it. Most data infrastructure was never designed for AI. It captures snapshots. Final scores. The "what" without the "why." That's a trust problem. When your AI can't explain how it got to a decision, when it can't trace back through the sequence of events that led to an outcome, you don't deploy it. Or you do - like the many other companies caught in the race to not be left behind - and hope for the best that agents won't go sideways or rogue based on data that was incomplete, compromised or deteriorated when ingested. That's why we built Kurrent around a simple principle: data you can trust. Our event-native platform captures every change, every decision, every context shift as it happens. Not just the current state, but the complete story. The what, the when, the why AND the how. Trusted AI starts with trusted data.

Missed our live webinar with Silver Fern? The recording is available now (link below). Silver Fern builds the software that manages the full plant lifecycle for greenhouse growers serving Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe's and Kroger. Their Director of Technology Chris Christensen sat down with Kurrent's Principal Solutions Architect Tony Young for a candid conversation about building their platform on event sourcing from day one. In this session, Chris walks through: - Why traditional database architectures couldn't handle the complexity of greenhouse fulfillment, where 80% of annual revenue ships in just a few weeks - How separating reads and writes with KurrentDB and MongoDB eliminated contention - A test-driven development approach with 2,500+ integration tests that spin up real containers and test the full stack as customers experience it - The move to Kurrent Cloud for built-in clustering and high availability - How clean event-sourced code patterns are making AI-assisted development practical, enabling AI coding agents to produce tested, deployable features faster Whether you're evaluating event sourcing for the first time or looking for real-world validation of the pattern at scale, this 45 minutes is educational.

[Webinar TODAY] What does it take to build mission-critical software for an industry where your inventory is literally alive and 80% of annual revenue ships in a few weeks? Join Silver Fern's Chris Christensen and Kurrent's Tony Young conversation about event sourcing, test-driven development and the architecture decisions that made it all work. Plus, learn how clean event-sourced code patterns are making AI-assisted development practical, enabling AI coding agents to follow patterns and produce tested, deployable features faster.

2,500+ integration tests and zero data integrity bugs. This webinar is tomorrow. Chris Christensen of Silver Fern and our Kurrent's Tony Young dig into how event sourcing, test driven development and Kurrent Cloud come together to power software for some of the largest greenhouse growers in the country. If you're curious what event sourcing looks like in production at scale, Chris has one of the best real-world stories out there. Register here: https://lnkd.in/gRt85wAh Can't make it live?

[WEBINAR] What happens when your fulfillment software has to manage inventory that's literally alive? When you walk into Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe's or Kroger in the springtime, those rows of plants lining the entrance all come from greenhouse growers. The software that manages the entire lifecycle of those plants, from seeding to sale to forecasting next season, is built by Silver Fern. Silver Fern's Director of Technology Chris Christensen chose to build their entire platform on event sourcing and CQRS with KurrentDB from day one. The result: 2,500+ integration tests, zero data integrity bugs and an architecture that scales with the business instead of against it. Join Chris and Kurrent's Principal Solutions Architect Tony Young for a candid conversation about building mission-critical enterprise software on an event-sourced foundation. You'll hear how Silver Fern: - Eliminated read/write contention by separating reads and writes with KurrentDB and MongoDB - Built a test-driven development practice where integration tests spin up real containers and test the full stack exactly as customers experience it - Moved to fully-managed Kurrent Cloud for built-in clustering and high availability - Uses clean, event-sourced code patterns to make AI-assisted development easier, enabling AI coding agents to follow patterns and produce tested, deployable features faster Whether you're evaluating event sourcing for the first time or modernizing an existing system, this is practical advice from someone living it every day.
