Description
Lightweight implementation, succinct data models, fast command processing, in-memory and on-disk indexing, causality-preserving hybrid logical clocks, locking primitives and OSGi support out of the box.
Instead of mutating data in a database, it stores all changes (events) and causes (commands). This facilitates rapid application development and evolution by mitigating the inability to predict how future needs will drive data shape requirements as all causal information is persisted. It also provides a foundation for deep analytics, data recovery, audit trails and other associated benefits.

Eventsourcing for Java
Enabling plurality and evolution of domain models
Instead of mutating data in a database, Eventsourcing stores all changes (events) and what caused them (commands). To make this data useful, Eventsourcing builds indices over it.
This helps developing applications faster because there is no need to worry about designing the right domain models upfront (or as close to right as possible). By keeping all the commands and events, we can enrich or change our domain models over time with very little friction. Furthermore, this approach removes a need to have a one and only domain model for every entity. We experience the world and reality in different ways, depending on circumstances and points of view, and our programs should be able to reflect that.

We strive to specify the building blocks behind Eventsourcing and its ecosystem as succinct specifications, you can find the current list of them at rfc.eventsourcing.com
Roadmap
As this project is striving to be a decentralized, contributors-driven project governed by the C4 process, there is no central roadmap per se. However, there's a centralized list of reported issues. These do not imply an actual roadmap, just what has been reported, ranging from bugs to longer-term design issues.
Contributing
Contributions of all kinds (code, documentation, testing, artwork, etc.) are highly encouraged. Please open a GitHub issue if you want to suggest an idea or ask a question.
We use Unprotocols C4 process. In a nutshell, this means:
- We merge pull requests rapidly (try!)
- We are open to diverse ideas
- We prefer code now over consensus later
