Anyone have any interest in CQRS?

[Merrion]

Hi

I have created a codeplex project with the aim of creating a new visual studio template that creates a CQRS project that sits on top of Azure.
Project location is https://azurecqrs.codeplex.com/

Anyone interested in this subject? (If so I'll clean up/write up my work to date and post it in the knowledgebase or architecture forum)

When to use
In my experience, CQRS lends itself to large multi-developer projects that are delivered via an internet based front end or via an automation API (for example a WCF or REST interface) where there is a need to scale the reading and writing independently.

The segregation of the read and write side, and the use of a distinct "definition" class for each handler to use means that development can be done in a highly parallel manner without experiencing "model contention" (the big ball of CRUD ).

Using Azure as a back end lends itself to applications with a non-uniform load (either over time, for example where most updates occur at a particular time of the day or over location where users are connecting from different locations)

With all that apparently great stuff, why is it that almost every web site still suck, loaded with ads and additional garbage? Bring back the Mafia.

This is an interesting subject, but your probably ahead of the curve as far as this forum goes. As you said you kind of need to be building modern style web apps/services that need to scale, and to be working in development teams to really get the best out of it.

We were looking more at this at my last place which was much bigger, at my current place if i get a second person on a project i am lucky.

This has nothing to do with Web Sites, do you even know what CQRS is?

I am certainly interested, i just don't know if i can really use it currently.

A fair point. I'll post (somewhere) whenever there's something significant added ... in case anyone can make use of it.

I guess you should have had a 'serious' tag...

[Merrion]

I have added some documentation to A CodePlex project and am hoping to build that into a usable CQRS/ES tooling application. All [serious] feedback, ideas, tips appreciated :-)

[Merrion]

Progress update: I've put together the modelling classes for this and looking at code generation - any text template wizards around?

[Merrion]

First cut of the designer - any feedback (is it obvious what is a command, query, projection or event or do I need icons for them too?)

[Merrion]

Adding a command line interface - any comments on the (proposed) syntax?

It is still a long way form complete, but there's a progress update on my blog if anyone is interested...and indeed if anyone has spare capacity to help the project along?
