This document discusses CQRS and event sourcing concepts and provides an introduction to the Lagom microservices framework. CQRS separates read and write operations by having separate models for each. Event sourcing stores an entity's state changes as a sequence of events. Lagom is a framework that uses CQRS and event sourcing principles and is built on reactive technologies like Akka. It aims to make microservices development productive and provides tools for persistence, querying and communication between services. The document includes code examples of using Lagom for CQRS and event sourcing.
