CQRS specialists for your dedicated team.
CQRS separates the model that changes state from the model that reads it, so writes and reads can be shaped, scaled and optimised independently. It is a targeted answer for systems where reads and writes have different requirements, and extra overhead for systems where they don't.
Where CQRS fits in a long-term product team.
CQRS is worth its complexity when the read and write sides pull in incompatible directions: a write model that must enforce invariants transactionally, and a read model that must answer aggregate questions across millions of rows without touching the same tables. Splitting them lets each be correct on its own terms.
Applied without that pressure it is expensive for nothing. Two models to keep in step, a synchronisation path to operate, and eventual consistency that the interface now has to explain to a user who just saved something and cannot see it. The pattern answers a specific problem, so the first question is whether the system has that problem yet.
What your dedicated team does with CQRS.
The cost of CQRS is not in building it, it is in living with it. Every later feature has to decide which side it touches, and eventual consistency has to be handled openly in the interface. That is ongoing design discipline, well beyond a one-time architectural decision.
Holding a pattern consistently over years is what a standing assignment is for; it is the part that erodes fastest when different people implement each feature. How direction and delivery divide in that arrangement is set out in how an assignment runs.
Common CQRS use cases.
- Reads and writes with incompatible shapes A transactional write model beside a denormalised read model, each optimised for its own job.
- Reporting that must not affect transactions Analytical queries served from a separate model, so a heavy report cannot slow the path that takes orders.
- Scaling one side independently Read capacity grown without touching the write path, where the traffic ratio makes that the cheaper axis.
Adding CQRS skills to your team.
CQRS work sits with backend developers through a dedicated software development team, with the decision to adopt it made at scoping.
CQRS work is assigned to dedicated, full-time specialists who work remotely in your repositories and are managed by us. It is the model behind every offshore team at Azendo, and how companies hire software developers without running the recruiting themselves.
