London .NET User Group:CQRS Pattern, Event Sourcing and Their Real World Applications
CQRS Pattern, Event Sourcing and Their Real World Applications
The Command-Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) pattern has recently been getting a lot of deserved attention. In short it involves separating, at least logically, the command and query infrastructures of a system. Through doing this CQRS promises a simpler design which will enable greater levels of scalability. When combined with other patterns such as Event Sourcing then even more benefits can be had.

I have been involved now in the development of two systems which seek to follow this pattern, one in insurance & one in public examinations. My experience, and that of my colleagues, has been that the systems built following this pattern have been more flexible, simpler, and quicker to develop than had been achieved following more conventional ActiveRecord/DDD approaches.

This talk will start with a brief overview of the CQRS pattern, and another pattern, Event Sourcing, which is commonly used with it. The bulk of this talk though will focus on some of the real world experiences (good and bad) that I, and those who I have worked with, have had applying this pattern. I hope that by the end of the talk everyone attending will know a little more about the CQRS pattern, when it can be useful, and how it can be applied.

Just a thought...
