Scalable and reliable applications using Event Sourcing and CQRS
In this course students will learn how to create scalable and reliable applications using Event Sourcing and CQRS using C#.
CQRS and Event Sourcing (ES) are described as the next level(s) in the Data Storage Maturity Model. It will give your applications better scalability, reliability and traceability than a standard three-layer-architecture. Since CQRS and ES are a mental leap for all concerned, thorough understanding of these concepts are key in this course. This course will give you insight into the concepts of CQRS and ES and will make you understand how (and when) to use them in an application.
Audience:
This course is intended for professional developers who have minimal 3 years of experience in creating .NET applications, who are comfortable with programming in C# and are familiar using a layered architecture. Knowledge about SQL, ORM’s and dependency injection is preferable.
