🎓 Learning objectives

  • •Explain the core idea of event sourcing and why it needs an ordered, append-only event log
  • •Design a composite key schema using aggregateId as partition key and eventSequence as sort key
  • •Query an aggregate's full or partial event history efficiently using key conditions
  • •Reconstruct current state by replaying an aggregate's ordered events
  • •Identify why DynamoDB's native strengths align unusually well with event sourcing
