This skill provides guidance for implementing Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) patterns to separate read and write data models in software architectures. It addresses the challenge of scaling read and write operations independently and optimizing query performance in complex systems. Developers should use this skill when building event-sourced systems, requiring different data models for reading and writing, or needing high-performance reporting capabilities.
CQRS Implementation
Comprehensive guide to implementing CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) patterns.
Use this skill when
- Separating read and write concerns
- Scaling reads independently from writes
- Building event-sourced systems
- Optimizing complex query scenarios
- Different read/write data models are needed
- High-performance reporting is required
Do not use this skill when
- The domain is simple and CRUD is sufficient
- You cannot operate separate read/write models
- Strong immediate consistency is required everywhere
Instructions
- Identify read/write workloads and consistency needs.
- Define command and query models with clear boundaries.
- Implement read model projections and synchronization.
- Validate performance, recovery, and failure modes.
- If detailed patterns are required, open
