Separating read and write models in a FastAPI microservices architecture involves using CQRS to split data mutation commands from data retrieval queries, allowing independent optimization and scaling of each operation. This Skill provides templates for command and query handlers to achieve that separation.

CQRS with event sourcing is an architectural pattern that records state changes as a sequence of events while segregating reads from writes. You need it for scalable Python systems when optimizing query performance and handling high-throughput data access patterns independently.

To handle eventual consistency and synchronize read models in CQRS, you project events from the write model to update the read model asynchronously. This Skill provides templates for read model synchronization and managing eventual consistency in distributed architectures.

CQRS works with Python and FastAPI by decoupling operations like order placement from product browsing. This approach allows high-throughput e-commerce backends to scale read and write workloads independently, optimizing query performance and system architecture.

You should not use CQRS in microservices when your application has simple CRUD operations or does not require independent scaling of read and write workloads. Implementing CQRS introduces eventual consistency and infrastructure complexity that is unnecessary for basic data access patterns.
