Implement CQRS and Event Sourcing
Use CQRS and event sourcing only when separate command, event, and read-model flows justify the added complexity.
This section bridges the chapter overview and the detailed lessons below. For Java engineers, the practical question is how to handle CQRS and event sourcing in Clojure NoSQL systems in Clojure code at the database boundary.
| Review focus |
What to check |
| Commands |
Validate intent before producing events. |
| Events |
Persist facts that can rebuild state. |
| Read models |
Project data into query-friendly NoSQL shapes. |
Use the child lessons to move from concept to implementation. The section goal is to make the trade-off visible before the code hardens around a database assumption.
