This document discusses event sourcing, which is a technique inspired by double-entry bookkeeping that records all changes to data as a time-ordered sequence of events. It provides an example of tracking inventory levels of tuna sushi using event sourcing by recording purchase and sale events, and shows how the current inventory level can be calculated on demand by replaying the sequence of events from the beginning. The key advantages mentioned are that event sourcing stores all changes chronologically without snapshots and allows reconstructing any point in time by replaying prior events.
