KurrentDB (formerly EventStoreDB) is an event-native database designed for event-driven architectures, storing data as immutable event streams with an integrated streaming engine for distributed messaging. It is the open-source server component of the Kurrent platform, with a companion managed cloud offering.
Use cases
- store application data as an event stream
- build event-sourced systems with CQRS
- implement event-driven microservices messaging
- preserve an audit log of every state change
- replace a message broker and database with one event store
- run a highly available event database cluster
When to choose
- your architecture is built around event sourcing or CQRS
- you need immutable event logs with built-in subscriptions and projections
- you want one system for both persistence and distributed messaging
When to avoid
- you only need simple relational CRUD with ad-hoc SQL queries
- your team has no experience with event-driven design and needs a general-purpose database
- you need heavy analytical scans over mutable records
