Command query responsibility segregation (CQRS) in Go
- [Instructor] Command Query Responsibility Segregation, also known as CQRS, is an architectural pattern that separates the operations, that modify the state. Otherwise known as commands, from the operations that query the state (queries). This separation can lead to more scalable and maintainable applications. Particularly in complex domains where the read and write workloads are different. In this video, we will explore how to implement CQRS in Go using a very simple example. And I'll share with you some best practices. First of all, What are the benefits of CQRS? Firstly, separation of concerns. By separating read and write operations, you can optimize and scale them independently. Secondly, flexibility. Different models can be used for read and write sides tailored to their specific requirements because they're different. Also, CQRS brings simplified complexity, because by dividing the responsibilities, complex domains can be managed more effectively. And finally, improved…
