Introduction

Command Query Separation (CQS) for .NET and C#

• Build services that separate the responsibility of commands and queries
• Focus on implementing the handlers for commands and queries
• Create APIs with less boilerplate code

Available for:

🌐 ASP.NET Core
⚡ AWS Lambda
⚡ Azure Functions
⚡ Google Cloud Functions

Command Query Separation?

Queries: Return a result and do not change the observable state of the system (are free of side effects).

Commands: Change the state of a system but do not return a value.

— <cite>Martin Fowler</cite>

In other words:

• Commands
  • Writes (create, update, delete) data
• Queries
  • Reads and returns data

The traditional approach that commands do not return a value is a bit inconvenient.

CommandQuery has a pragmatic take and supports both commands with and without result 👍
