SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Designing robust systems where read and write workloads and representations differ, requiring separate models and processing paths to scale effectively.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Separate Command and Query Models to isolate write and read concerns
  • Design Command Side with intent-based commands, validation, and transactional boundaries
  • Design Query Side with read-optimized projections, pagination, and caching strategies
  • Implement Synchronization by projecting domain events into the read model
  • Handle Eventual Consistency with clear expectations and guardrails for data freshness

Quick Start

Split write and read paths, then implement a basic projection from write events to the read model.

FAQPage Schema
How do I separate read and write models in a scalable system?

To separate read and write models, implement Command Query Responsibility Segregation to split transactional writes from read-optimized projections, allowing independent scaling and synchronization through domain events.

When do I need to use CQRS patterns in domain-driven design?

You need CQRS patterns when read and write workloads differ significantly in volume or representation, requiring separate processing paths to scale effectively without constraining queries by transactional boundaries.

How do I synchronize a read model with eventual consistency?

Synchronize a read model by projecting domain events from the command side into the read-optimized projection, establishing clear guardrails and expectations for data freshness during eventual consistency.

What is the best way to design commands for the write side of a CQRS architecture?

Design the write side of a CQRS architecture using intent-based commands with strict validation and transactional boundaries to ensure domain integrity before emitting events for read-model synchronization.

Can I use read-optimized projections with pagination for high-traffic query workloads?

Yes, you can use read-optimized projections with pagination and caching strategies to handle high-traffic query workloads efficiently, isolating reads from the command-side transactional boundaries.

Why does splitting reads and writes require event-driven synchronization?

Splitting reads and writes requires event-driven synchronization because separate models must stay aligned; projecting domain events into the read model reliably updates query data despite eventual consistency.
