A lightweight .NET library for implementing event sourcing with aggregates, designed for scenarios requiring multi-aggregate collaboration.
AggregateSource is a lightweight .NET library that provides infrastructure for implementing event sourcing with aggregates. It solves the problem of managing domain state changes through events, particularly in scenarios where multiple aggregates need to collaborate, without imposing a full framework.
.NET developers building domain-driven design (DDD) applications with event sourcing, especially those needing flexibility in aggregate persistence and collaboration.
Developers choose AggregateSource for its minimalistic, non-framework approach that allows copying and customizing the code, its support for multi-aggregate scenarios, and integrated testing utilities for clear specification-driven tests.

Avoids framework bloat by encouraging developers to copy and adapt only necessary code, as stated in its philosophy of not being a framework.
Lenient persistence allows saving multiple aggregates in one transaction if the store supports it, making it well-suited for collaborative domain scenarios.
Includes a testing library with fluent syntax and codified statecharts for writing clear, specification-driven tests, as detailed in the Testing section.
Does not enforce single-aggregate saves, giving control over persistence based on store capabilities or domain requirements, unlike more rigid alternatives.
The preferred usage involves copying source code and removing unneeded parts, which increases setup time and can complicate maintenance and updates.
Lacks out-of-the-box event stores or advanced tooling, requiring integration with external components like GetEventStore, as hinted in the build process.
Relies on basic README files and a discussion group for support, which may be insufficient for developers new to event sourcing or .NET DDD.
