Best for

  • Design event-sourced aggregates with proper invariant boundaries for complex business domains
  • Implement projection rebuilding strategies for read model consistency across microservices
  • Architect saga patterns for distributed transaction coordination in event-driven systems
  • Design event schema evolution strategies for backward compatibility in long-lived systems
  • Implement CQRS command validation and event store selection for high-throughput domains

What you'll get

  • Complete aggregate design with command handlers, event definitions, and invariant validation logic with specific code patterns
  • Event store architecture recommendation with projection strategies, catch-up subscriptions, and consistency guarantees analysis
  • Saga implementation pattern with compensation logic, timeout handling, and failure recovery mechanisms
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Simple CRUD applications without complex business invariants or high scalability needs
  • ×Real-time systems requiring strict consistency guarantees across all operations
  • ×Legacy system integration where event sourcing overhead outweighs benefits
  • ×Small applications with straightforward data models and minimal concurrent users
Expects

Complex business domain requirements with clear invariants, scalability constraints, and consistency requirements that justify the architectural complexity of CQRS/ES patterns.

Returns

Detailed architectural designs including aggregate boundaries, event schemas, projection strategies, saga orchestration patterns, and implementation guidance with specific technology recommendations.
