The document provides recipes for building CQRS architectures. It begins with an introduction and agenda. Lesson 1 discusses a basic layered architecture, noting its limitations in scalability and evolvability. Lesson 2 introduces n-layered architecture with dependency injection to improve decoupling but it also has scalability issues. Lesson 3 explains the Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) pattern, separating read and write operations for improved scalability and flexibility. It provides code examples of implementing CQRS. The document aims to help architects evolve monolithic systems to more scalable and maintainable architectures.
