  1. Scalable Architecture for the Cloud CQRSand Windows Azure

  2. What???? • Command Query Responsibility Segregation • What is it? • What kinds of apps is it for? • What are the moving parts? • What does it buy me? • How do I do this on Azure?

  3. What is it? • An architectural pattern • Embracing modern requirements • Self service • High scalability • Asynchronous processing

  4. Applicability • Multiple simultaneous users • Untrained users • We’ll be talking about the web

  5. Applicability • Usage patterns • More reads than writes • No really, more reads than writes • Lots, lots, lots more

  6. Applicability • Asynchronous Processing • “Thank you, you will receive a confirmation email shortly.”

  7. 3-Tier Architecture DB WRITE READ Domain UI

  8. Is it really symmetric? • Reads • Fast • Synchronous • Idempotent • Stale • Writes • Slow • Asynchronous • Stateful • Current

  9. Sidebar • Command Query Separation • Methods should either: • Query State and return a value • Or Execute behavior and return nothing • Bertrand Meyer

  10. CQRS Architecture DB DOMAIN UI

  11. CQRS Architecture READ DB WRITE DB WRITE READ READ MODEL WRITE MODEL Q UI

  12. Read Model / Store • Optimized for Reading • Denormalized out the wazoo! • Matches UI model requirements • No logic – DTO • One “table” per screen • SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE … • No joins • It’s a cache, not a database!

  13. Write Model / Store • Accepts Commands • Executes Business Rules • Generates Business Events

  14. Write / Read Side Sync • Processes Domain Events • Updates tables in read store

  15. What’s a Command? • A message • Named in the imperative • AddNewUser • PublishDocument • LaunchMissiles • Task Oriented

  16. Command Processing • UI Validates before sending • UI Sends command • Write model re-validates • Write model processes business rules • Write model generates events • Assume commands will succeed most of the time

  17. What’s an event? • A message • Named in the past tense • UserAdded • NewDocumentPublished • WentBoom • Express Changes in the domain over time • Save the event stream for reprocessing

  18. Event Processing • Receive events as they come out • Update read stores

  19. How is this scalable? • Web Farms • Event Processors • Read Stores • Harder to scale the write side • But we have lots more reads anyway

  20. Other Advantages • External System Integration • Events write to external system • Commands when external system wants you to do something • You know it works, you’re using it!

  21. Mapping to Azure • Queues • Table Store • Event Store • Read Stores • Worker role • Command processors • Event Processors • Web role • Front end

  22. Show me some code!

  23. A special bonus pattern! Event Sourcing

  24. What is event sourcing? • Model Persistence • ORM • We’re generating events anyway • Events record changes to the domain over time • So we know every state change that’s happened anyway

  25. Event Sourcing • Load domain entities by “playing back” domain events • No need for ORM • Use snapshots for efficiency
