CQRS stands for Command Query Responsibility Segregation, which is a design pattern used in software engineering to separate the responsibilities of handling commands (changing state) from the responsibility of querying data.
- This pattern splits the responsibility of handling commands that change data from handling queries that retrieve data in software systems.
- This separation allows for more flexibility and scalability in managing complex operations. In a system following the CQRS pattern, commands are responsible for modifying the state of the system, while queries are responsible for retrieving data from the system.
