Reactive Architecture: CQRS & Event Sourcing
|
Understand the principles of CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) and Event Sourcing in reactive architecture. Learn how to implement these patterns to enhance scalability, maintainability, and real-time processing in microservices.
At a Glance
This course will discuss the reasons we use CQRS/ES, what benefits it provides us, but also what it will cost us to use.
About This Course
Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS), and Event Sourcing (ES), are powerful tools. They can make the difference between an application that evolves, and remains competitive, or one that stagnates and falls into obscurity. This course will discuss the reasons we use CQRS/ES, what benefits it provides us, but also what it will cost us to use. We will see how CQRS/ES can impact the scalability, consistency, and availability of our application. Most importantly we will learn about one of the key techniques that is used in building modern Reactive Microservices.
What will I get after passing this course?
- You will receive a completion certificate.
Course Syllabus
- What is CQRS/ES?
- A brief introduction to CQRS/ES, and what situations it should be applied in.
