Debugging distributed systems can be challenging, but the Event Sourcing/Event Logging pattern offers a solution by allowing developers to track changes over time and understand how entities reach certain states. This pattern involves capturing every change as an immutable event object, storing it sequentially, and enabling systems to be rebuilt by replaying these events. While tools like Service Meshes and OpenTracing aid in monitoring, Event Sourcing provides visibility into the state of entities and supports debugging, security, and business value. It encourages developers to prioritize events before structure, aligning with Domain-Driven Design principles. Implementations, like Couchbase Eventing, facilitate asynchronous event processing, and snapshotting helps avoid reprocessing when historical states are needed. Despite its advantages in debugging and state recovery, Event Sourcing is less intuitive for synchronous calls and requires careful management of breaking changes and private data within event logs. While not universally applicable, it proves invaluable for core services, enhancing reliability and reporting capabilities in microservices architectures.
