Sdk Event Sourcing

Software Development Kit (SDK)

SDK stands for Software Development Kit: the tools and software to develop application through a specific platform. SDK provides libraries, document, templates, code sample, debugging, supportive documentation or additional document for developers to integrate into their software/ application. SDK can also be a combination of many APIs under the form of libraries to interact with the operating system.

Let’s take a cellphone for an example. Every cellphone has an operating system with programmed API, and many underlying connected libraries. A kit of APIs that can be used for different hardwares with the same operating system.

Event Sourcing

Event Sourcing is a term for an architecture that is designed for interaction/ communication between app A and app B. Event Sourcing acts as a message-oriented middleware where data is stored and sorted on prioritized order, and ready to be called out for communication purpose between parties.

Consider Event Sourcing as a mailbox to store the data for communication.

event: stands for data
sourcing: where the data comes from

Example: TIKI

Tiki is a marketplace for good tradings. Let’s say TIKI has 3 types of parties

Marketplace

Time of order
Time of invoice

Warehouse

Stock status
Time of import/ export

Support

Delivery status
Goods returning

The data between parties has a connection with each other, and it needs interaction to smooth the process of goods handling and delivery. Different types of data (events) from different parties (source) will need a system to filter and organize it with prioritized order to make sure the communication goes smoothly, that’s what Event Sourcing is all about. __
