EventLedger — Event sourcing as a service

One-liner: Managed event store API with projections, snapshots, and replay — so teams get eventsourcing without building infrastructure.

Target market: Dev teams building event-driven systems, CQRS adopters, fintech/audit-heavy apps

Monetization: $29/mo starter (100K events), $99/mo pro (1M events + projections), $299/mo business (10M + SLA)

Why us:

Einar literally wrote eskit — deep domain expertise
Go + NATS is the ideal stack for event streaming
Few hosted options exist (EventStoreDB Cloud is enterprise-priced)
Can dogfood in our own products

🔍 Competitor Research (Feb 2026)

Competitor	Pricing	Notes
Serialized.io	Startup-friendly, exact $ undisclosed but "affordable"	Only real direct competitor as hosted ES API. Swedish company, small team. Java-focused SDKs.
Kurrent (EventStoreDB Cloud)	Enterprise-priced, $100s/mo+	Rebranded from Event Store. Heavy, enterprise-focused. Overkill for small teams.
Axon Server	Free SE / Enterprise license	Java-only ecosystem. Complex.
Eventuate	Open source framework	Not a hosted service, just libraries.

Gap analysis: Serialized.io is the ONLY hosted event-sourcing-as-a-service but is Java-centric and opaque on pricing. No Go-native option exists. The market is small but growing with CQRS adoption. High switching costs = extremely sticky revenue.

Domain: eventledger.com TAKEN. Consider eventledger.dev or eventledger.io.

Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ TOP PICK — Unique expertise, near-zero direct competition for indie/SMB, very sticky.
