tbh – this pretty much looks like they straight-up copied another database that dropped earlier this year. looks like GenesisDB grabbed all its ideas from here:

https://hub.docker.com/r/thenativeweb/eventsourcingdb

take a look and see for yourself… #copycat

I've definitely taken inspiration from some great ideas out there, but Genesis DB is built on my own design choices and implementation. The earlier concepts behaved quite similarly, with the main difference being that back then I hadn't implemented the CloudEvents standard or event hash-chaining yet. I later found both to be really valuable additions. The idea of event chaining isn't new for example, I just hadn't had it on my radar for very long.
