Isn't there a way to NOT use EventStore? about aggregates.net HOT 3 CLOSED

Yes there is - the example is in the Presentation part of the project. The web api doesnt need to talk to event store so it uses the configuration option "SetPassive" like so

public static IServiceCollection AddAggregatesNet(this IServiceCollection services, EndpointConfiguration configuration)
        {
            Aggregates.Configuration.Build(c => c
                   .Microsoft(services)
                   .NewtonsoftJson()
                   .NServiceBus(configuration)
                   .SetUniqueAddress(Defaults.Instance.ToString())
                   .SetPassive()
                   .SetRetries(20)
               ).Wait();

            services.AddSingleton<IHostedService>(provider => new AggregatesService(provider));
            
            services.AddSingleton<IMessageSession>(_ => Aggregates.Bus.Instance);

            return services;
        }

SetPassive will not insert behaviors which communicate with event store and will not process commands or events.

Will events from eventstore not be updating the sql server? Typically thats the design. In the todo example the Application does still need EventStore - in fact it receives events to update its state via the store. Typically a sql server would need the same? Unless you are updating the sql database via some other process

I have this Application project which will need to listen to the events triggered in the domain model (via Apply<>) to update the read model, but I thought why to use the EventStore in the project? I can create handlers for all events that DM is triggering and update the DB using EF .
I couldn't link between using ES in my Application project and updating the SQL, can you please explain a little bit more? can't I just create handlers and wait for the events?

from aggregates.net.

The clients like Application receive events from the event store. So it needs a connection to the event store to receive those events.
