Quick takeaways

  • CQRS is a valuable architectural pattern for domains with complex business logic, allowing for separate handling of queries and commands and improving scalability and performance.

Deep dives

CQRS and its Background

CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) was coined by Udi Dehaan and Greg Young as a solution to the problem of using the same set of objects for commands and queries. They found that using different sets of objects worked better, leading to the development of CQRS. CQRS is primarily suited for domains with complex business logic and tasks, rather than simple CRUD operations.
