Should IEventStore Instance be Static?

Question

Just getting started with NEventStore.

Should I be calling Init() every time I want to connect (like a database connection), or should I create a static (or singleton) instance of IEventStore and just initialize once?

I'm aware of the example here, which creates a static instance (but also doesn't use the store outside of the MainProgram class).

Answer 1

IEventStore instance should have a lifecycle of singleton with respect to your application. That is, it should be initialized once.
