This document compares the Akka Persistence and Eventuate frameworks for building event-sourced applications using the CQRS/ES pattern. Both frameworks allow persisting actor state by event sourcing and replaying events to recover state. The key differences are that Akka Persistence enforces strong consistency while Eventuate supports causal consistency across multiple data centers. Eventuate also supports replication of event logs and event-sourced actors across locations for high availability.
