  3. Agreed. I found the referenced article[0] far more useful as a guide for how rather than why. [0]( https://kickstarter.engineering/a-guide-to-mindful-communica... )

  5. Hi, I've ported the kickstarter's event sourcing framework ( https://kickstarter.engineering/event-sourcing-made-simple-4... ) to Go. It's similar to the flux architecture in the backend. Any feedback is welcome.
