As said, "similar" to what Git does ;-)
Conceptually, it's still capturing the deltas, instead of storing the current state and overwriting it. Storing the history is the key ingredient here, and of course, there are differences in how to achieve this.
- jen20 8y agoI would argue that there is a fundamental difference between the two: one stores the state and calculates the deltas, and the other stores the deltas and calculates the state. Both are common in systems, but only the latter is event sourcing - at least if the definition is to have any use and not become overloaded.
- linkmotif 8y agoYeah every time people say Git stores deltas it’s sad because the fun thing about Git is that it DOESNT store deltas.
