CRUD vs Event Sourcing
Developers should learn CRUD because it underpins nearly all data-driven applications, from simple web forms to complex enterprise systems meets developers should use event sourcing when building systems that require strong auditability, temporal querying, or complex business logic with undo/redo capabilities, such as financial applications, e-commerce platforms, or collaborative tools. Here's our take.
CRUD
Developers should learn CRUD because it underpins nearly all data-driven applications, from simple web forms to complex enterprise systems
CRUD
Nice PickDevelopers should learn CRUD because it underpins nearly all data-driven applications, from simple web forms to complex enterprise systems
Pros
- +It is essential for building RESTful APIs, where CRUD maps to HTTP methods (POST, GET, PUT/PATCH, DELETE), and for database interactions using SQL or ORM tools
- +Related to: restful-apis, sql
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Event Sourcing
Developers should use Event Sourcing when building systems that require strong auditability, temporal querying, or complex business logic with undo/redo capabilities, such as financial applications, e-commerce platforms, or collaborative tools
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable in microservices architectures for maintaining consistency across services and enabling event-driven communication, as it decouples state storage from business logic and supports scalability through event replay
- +Related to: domain-driven-design, cqrs
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use CRUD if: You want it is essential for building restful apis, where crud maps to http methods (post, get, put/patch, delete), and for database interactions using sql or orm tools and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Event Sourcing if: You prioritize it is particularly valuable in microservices architectures for maintaining consistency across services and enabling event-driven communication, as it decouples state storage from business logic and supports scalability through event replay over what CRUD offers.
