ES, CQRS & DDD: Lessons Learned (and walls bumped into)

Problem 1

“Every ‘dossier’, ‘scan’, ‘decision’, ... Should have a unique incremental number”

Use an autoincrement

column?

Use a ‘DossierNumberGenerator’

DossierNumberGenerator

_highestNumber = 01. GenerateNext

2. DossierNumberGeneratedEvent

3. onDossierNumberGenerated_highestNumber ++;

DossierNumberGenerator

_highestNumber = 0

onDossierNumberGenerated_highestNumber ++;

Problem 2

Id

AggregateId

Version

Raised

repo.GetById<Aggregate>(aggregateId);

Get/Store events based on type, not on

eventproviderId?

Migrate those events

Replay needed

_somePrivateStuff = 0

onSomeEvent:_somePriveStuff = somevalue;

Problem 3

AnAggregateSnapshot

Repository.GetById<AnAggregate>(aggregateId);

_version = 666

SomeEventVersion = 667

AnotherEventVersion = 668

AndAnotherEventVersion = 669

AnAggregate

_somePrivateStuff = 0

onSomeEvent:_somePriveStuff = somevalue;

Replay

Problem 4

Hard to use in debugging

Hard to do data updates

Hard to query

Problem 5

AnAggregate

_somePrivateValue = 0DoSomething

onSomethingHappened_somePrivateValue = something;

DoSomething

SomethingHappenedEvent

Problem 6

And for the good news?
