Event Sourcing is emerging as a preferred approach to building complex software systems. It enables rapid development, smooth evolution over time, and opens the door to AI-based acceleration.

We will make a brief introduction to the core concepts of Event Sourcing and why the approach is loved by its adherents. We will review the foundational elements of an Event Sourced application including some common architectural choices.

GraphQL is known for expressive queries, precise data fetching, real-time capabilities, and a strong ecosystem. All of these pair well with Event Sourced applications. GraphQL simplifies the complexity of querying event streams, enables precise control over client-server interactions, and supports flexible schema evolution that is crucial to long term success. We will discuss this in the context of established patterns (and anti-patterns!).

By the end of this talk, attendees will clearly understand how combining Event Sourcing and GraphQL accelerates development and prepares data-driven apps to take advantage of AI-driven acceleration in the near future.
