The document discusses the Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) pattern and related concepts like event sourcing. It explains that CQRS separates read and write operations into different models to allow for simpler and more optimized models. Event sourcing is also covered, which stores an entire history of events rather than just the current state. Benefits include flexibility, scalability, and a complete audit log, but consistency must be managed. CQRS is best for complex domains and should not be applied to entire simple applications.
