chroniclebased
Chroniclebased refers to systems, methods, or data representations that organize information as a chronicle: a time-ordered, append-only record of events or changes. In a chroniclebased approach, data is stored in an immutable sequence of entries, each with a timestamp and payload describing a state transition or activity. This framing emphasizes auditability, reproducibility, and the ability to reconstruct past states by replaying events in order.
Context and relation to other concepts: Chroniclebased is closely related to event sourcing and log-structured storage.
- Immutable, append-only logs with strict time ordering
- Event-level granularity and timestamping
- Deterministic replay to reconstruct system state
- Support for auditing, rollback, and historical analysis
- Techniques for compaction, snapshots, and archival to manage growth
- Benefits include strong audit trails, fault recovery, and decoupled components that can evolve independently.
- Challenges involve complex querying across many events, potential storage growth, the need for efficient snapshots, and
- Financial and compliance systems, distributed architectures, gaming event logs, monitoring and telemetry, and any domain requiring
