Topic: Demystifying CQRS

CQRS is the latest architectural shiny object that's been spreading like wildfire across the blogosphre and social media. It's been touted as the next generation architecture for scalable systems and the cure for complex monolithic applications. The purpose of this talk is to get real about what CQRS is, the problem it solves, and when it's appropriate in your solutions. It may not be what you think it is. Along for the ride will be discussion about the fallacies of distributed systems so that you can properly set the stage in your system to take advantage of what CQRS has to offer.
