SUMMARY:June | Event Sourcing Your Way out of Trouble
DESCRIPTION:PHP Sussex\nSpring is here\, the Spiegelten– er\, Gardens ar
 e up\, and our last PHP Sussex before the summer break is in!\n\nOn Wednes
 day 10 June\, returning speaker [Christopher Miller](https://linkedin.com/
 in/ccmiller2018)\, Software Engineer and Podcaster at [PHP Architect](http
 s://www.phparch.com)\, will once more share his knowledge with us\, this t
 ime on the topic of Event Sourcing.\n\nWe’re not live streaming events a
 nymore\, so be sure to join us at [Runway East](https://runwayea.st/?utm_s
 ource=SiliconBrighton&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Event+Sponsorship&utm_
 id=Silicon+Brighton+RWE+Sponsorship+email) in Brighton from 6:30 pm (talk 
 at 7 pm).\n\n**Event Sourcing Your Way out of Trouble**\n\nThe talk explor
 es the "Big Ball of Mud" scenario common in aging PHP applications\, where
  side effects and buried state changes make debugging a nightmare. By intr
 oducing Event Sourcing\, we move away from traditional CRUD (Create\, Read
 \, Update\, Delete) where the "why" and "how" of data changes are lost. In
 stead of just storing the current state in a database\, we capture every b
 usiness action as an immutable event. This creates a "Source of Truth" tha
 t allows developers to reconstruct the exact state of the system at any po
 int in time\, making it significantly easier to identify exactly where a l
 egacy process went off the rails without digging through cryptic logs or m
 essy if/else chains.\n\nOnce the root cause is identified\, Event Sourcing
  provides a unique safety net for fixing problems. Rather than performing 
 risky\, manual SQL "hotfixes" on live data\, we can leverage the Event Sto
 re to replay history and project it into new\, corrected read models. This
  approach allows us to fix logic errors retrospectively\, "time travel" th
 rough the application's history to verify the fix\, and deploy with the co
 nfidence that our data integrity remains intact. The session focuses on pr
 actical strategies for incrementally strangling legacy PHP codebases\, tur
 ning unpredictable bugs into repeatable\, solvable sequences of events.\n\
 nAs always\, we’ll have food and drinks (big thanks to our sponsor [Jump
 24](https://jump24.co.uk/)!)\, and plenty of time to chat with fellow deve
 lopers. After the talk\, we’ll head to [Unbarred Taproom](https://www.un
 barredbrewery.com/pages/taproom)\, a 2-minute walk from our venue\, to win
 d up the evening over a craft beer 🍻.\n\nPHP Sussex is supported by [Si
 licon Brighton](https://siliconbrighton.com/)\, [Jump24](https://jump24.co
 .uk/)\, and [Runway East](https://runwayea.st/?utm_source=SiliconBrighton&
 utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Event+Sponsorship&utm_id=Silicon+Brighton+RW
 E+Sponsorship+email).\n\nRunway East has been fighting boring offices sinc
 e 2014. Members get team bliss guaranteed\, space to scale and Big Desk En
 ergy.
