Our new blog post went live! The last blog posts we shared here did not answer one of the most urgent questions: Why should you even use event sourcing? What benefits do I get from that?
If you've asked yourself why you should use event sourcing, then you should check it out. There are many topics to go through.

@htto You did not miss anything in this post. This was purely about the benefits not looking on drawbacks when using evensourcing. I'm already working on some more blog posts which will tackle these questions.
But to answer it quickly here: Regarding personal data there are possiblities to be compliant to GDPR, for example crypto shredding. You could read more about that in our docs: https://event-sourcing.patchlevel.io/latest/personal_data/
I received some messages about data removal and GDPR compliance after my latest blog post, which discussed the no-data-loss advantage of event sourcing. Today, I published a new blog post specifically addressing this: GDPR compliance & secure data removal. If you're interested in how this can be achieved despite the immutability of the event store, check it out here: https://patchlevel.de/blog/mastering-sensitive-data-handling-and-secure-data-removal-with-event-sourcing?utm_source=mastodon #TechBlog #PHP #DDD #EventSourcing #GDPR
