Discussion on Command and Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) in Elixir

In this informative podcast episode, Marcelo Dominguez from Mimiquate, an expert in developing solutions with Elixir, Ruby on Rails, and Ember, explores the concept of command query responsibility segregation, commonly known as CQRS. The discussion includes Marcelo and the hosts sharing their experiences with CQRS and event sourcing, clarifying the CQRS pattern's definition, and touching upon its potential benefits in software design. Marcelo provides insights on distinguishing between database write and read operations and examines the limitations of the traditional CRUD pattern. The episode touches on understanding when an application may benefit from implementing CQRS and mentions tools available within the Elixir ecosystem, such as Commanded, for this purpose. Additionally, Marcelo talks about strategies for quick recovery from outages in mature CQRS applications and the implications of multi-node distribution on CQRS architecture.
