SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

CQRS separates the concerns of command (write) and query (read) operations to optimize performance, scalability, and maintainability in complex systems.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Separate read and write models to scale reads independently from writes.
  • Event-sourced architectures where domain events drive read models and projections.
  • Sensible data modeling with specialized schemas for command processing and query workloads.
  • Incremental adoption: start with a simple projection and evolve toward full CQRS.

Quick Start

Define a minimal CQRS setup with separate command handlers and read models to demonstrate end-to-end write and read paths.

FAQPage Schema
How do I separate read and write models for high throughput applications?

Separating read and write models requires splitting command processing from querying. This approach allows read projections to scale independently from the write path, optimizing performance and maintainability in complex systems.

What is the best way to implement CQRS with event sourcing?

Implementing CQRS with event sourcing uses domain events to drive read models and projections. This architecture separates command handlers from data querying, enabling clear boundaries and distinct read/write schemas for scalable systems.

When do I need distinct read and write schemas in microservices?

Distinct read and write schemas are needed when microservices require high write throughput and fast read projections. Separating command paths from query workloads enables independent scaling and specialized data modeling for each operation.

Can I adopt CQRS incrementally without a full event-sourced architecture?

Yes, CQRS allows incremental adoption. You can start with a simple projection and evolve toward full CQRS. This enables distinct command handling and data querying boundaries without requiring a complete event-sourced domain upfront.

Why use domain-driven design boundaries for command and query paths?

Domain-driven design boundaries clarify command and query separation by enforcing distinct read/write schemas. This separation optimizes scalability and maintainability, preventing complex write logic from slowing down fast read projections.

What are the limitations of separating command handling from data querying?

Separating command handling from data querying introduces eventual consistency between write models and read projections. This architectural complexity is best suited for systems requiring high write throughput rather than simple CRUD applications.
