First Steps with EventSourcingDB

This tutorial builds a small library step by step. You write events for books, read them back, query them with EventQL, observe them as they happen, register event schemas, list the subjects and event types that EventSourcingDB knows about, and finally fill it with a year of sample events.

Before You Begin#

You need a running EventSourcingDB instance. The fastest way to get one is the Quickstart; for all options, see Running EventSourcingDB. The examples use curl and the API token you set when starting EventSourcingDB.
