    About EventStoreDB

    Kurrent (formerly Event Store) is a category-defining data platform company that provides an event-native database purpose-built for event sourcing. Unlike traditional relational or document databases, their platform stores data as a continuous stream of events, preserving the full history and intent of every state change within a system. This architecture is specifically designed to support microservices, reactive systems, and complex business domains where auditability and temporal data are critical. The company maintains the popular open-source Event Store DB (ESDB) while offering a fully managed SaaS version, Event Store Cloud, which runs on major public cloud providers. Their mission is to simplify the implementation of Domain-Driven Design (DDD) patterns by providing the underlying infrastructure necessary to manage event streams at enterprise scale. Following their 2024 rebranding to Kurrent, the company has expanded its focus toward broader streaming and data context solutions for the global enterprise market.
