A system with thousands of event types

In the last 10 years we have applied event sourcing and CQRS in the development of our new ERP system. We now have almost two years of production experience. During these years we have run into interesting challenges that needed to be solved. In this session we share how we built a system with many thousands of event types, with the aim of serving thousands of companies and eventually millions of users.
