Most databases only store the current state โ the last write wins and history vanishes. Event Sourcing flips this on its head: store what happened, derive what is. Here's how to apply it without drowning in ceremony.
Every engineering team eventually faces the IDP question: do you stitch together Backstage, Argo, and a dozen other tools, or pay for something that just works? Spoiler โ the answer is messier than a vendor's pricing page.
Containers are not virtual machines. That mental model mismatch is exactly what attackers exploit to break out of your 'isolated' workloads and own the host.
