Sorry this is my first time on this site so I never saw that post. I agree that part of that post is off where they seem to be conflating the benefits of an event driven system with the benefits of event sourcing, which is not correct. There can be some overlap, many times we will take a Domain Event that is received by a service and stick that in our event stream, so we can rebuild the state of that service by replaying all of the inputs to the service. But it depends on the nature of the service if that makes sense. And certainly we would not expose that event stream outside of that service.
