Event sourcing stores every change as an immutable event instead of just the current state. This guide shows how to implement it in .NET using Marten and PostgreSQL. It covers event storage, rebuilding aggregates, and querying historical data. The approach improves traceability, auditing, and debugging, especially in distributed systems. Practical examples demonstrate how to structure events and manage state over time.

The Saga pattern helps manage long-running workflows across multiple services. This post shows how to implement it using Wolverine in .NET. It explains coordinating actions, handling failures, and ensuring consistency without distributed transactions. Wolverine simplifies orchestration with built-in messaging and state handling. A great practical guide for building reliable distributed systems.
This article explains implementing the command side of CQRS in ASP.NET Core. Commands represent intent and are handled separately from queries, improving structure and scalability. The post shows how to organize handlers, validation, and application layers. It’s a practical approach to reducing complexity in large systems.
Choosing between sync and async communication impacts scalability and reliability. This post compares both approaches, explaining trade-offs in latency, coupling, and complexity. It also shows when to use messaging systems for asynchronous workflows. A useful guide for designing microservices architecture.
