🚦🧭 CQRS IN 60 SECONDS

· architecture,techlead

A quick teaser—full post just dropped! If you’ve wondered when CQRS actually helps (and when it doesn’t), here’s the bite-size version 👇

🔸 TL;DR

▪️ Split writes (commands) from reads (queries) to scale and optimize each side independently.

▪️ Great for read-heavy systems, complex domains, and auditability.

▪️ Don’t overuse it—plain CRUD is fine for simple apps.

🔸 TAKEAWAYS

▪️ Different models/tech for read vs write is a feature, not a bug.

▪️ Expect eventual consistency—design UX to show “processing…”.

▪️ Use where value > complexity; avoid over-engineering.
