10 problems that Event Sourcing can help you solve

I recently ended up in a discussion on when Event Sourcing is the right architecture style or not. As the universal answer to this question tends to be “it depends”, I started thinking about the typical problems where I would use Event Sourcing. I came up with a couple of them, some more functional and some more technical:

• Auditing
• Replaying production issues
• Collaborative domains
• Apply new rules on existing data
• Temporal analysis
• Replication
• Out-of-place upgrades
• Off-line editing in a PWA
• Scaling out the read side
• Cross-domain communication
