Abstract: Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) is an approach, a mindset to reduce complexities in application development. In its essence, CQRS is the creation of two objects where there was previously only one. CQRS is a very simple pattern that enables opportunities for architecture that may otherwise not exists. I will discuss what CQRS is in its simplest form and how it can be used to; capture business intent, data warehousing, event sourcing, and help reduce application complexity. After giving a brief overview of CQRS, I walk through developing a simple application using DDD and CQRS.
