ConfPad

For the last few years, the PHP community has been buzzing about ES/CQRS, and there was a talk at every conference. So now I will share how it worked out for me in practice.ES/CQRS is a different approach to building applications from what we've done for years. I'm not going to introduce Event Sourcing and Command Query Responsibility Segregation (ES & CQRS) but instead will speak about my experiences in developing and running it in production.I implemented it in a few projects: in some I ran it as a part of bigger application, while in others it's the core where everything is event driven. The shift in architecture and mindset is pretty big: while code structures and logic became simple, the amount of code and workflows became complicated to the point of "where did I loose this input?".We also discovered the need to learn many DDD practices I feel have made me a better developer, and now I use some of the knowledge gathered through this projects in 'everyday' code.
