Event sourcing is a robust way to determine the current state of a system by analyzing past events. Kafka provides a distributed and scalable event log, making it ideal for event sourcing. Tinybird, a real-time data platform, offers snapshotting and real-time analytics capabilities that enhance event sourcing. Best practices for implementing event sourcing with Kafka are provided, along with a practical example of implementing event sourcing with Kafka and Tinybird. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
