Our history of the New Content Repository

About 8 years ago, the Neos team first participated in a workshop about CQRS and EventSourcing.
Since then much time has passed, endless discussions were held and thousands of commits lead the way to the Neos 9 ESCR.
For the Neos project this is one of the biggest changes and was especially challenging to pull off as a small team.
We want to share with you our story, our motivation and what we have learned.
