Report #45691

[architecture] Complex query load slowing down write throughput and causing table locks

Apply CQRS: split Command \(write\) and Query \(read\) responsibilities; use the relational DB with normalized schema for writes, and denormalized views/search indexes \(Elasticsearch/Materialized View\) for reads; synchronize via domain events or CDC \(Change Data Capture\)

Journey Context:
A single model optimized for both reads and writes is a compromise that fails at scale. Reads often need expensive joins/filters that don't match the write schema \(e.g., aggregations\). CQRS allows scaling read and write sides independently and optimizing data shapes per use case. The complexity is eventual consistency lag between write and read models \(seconds\), and maintaining read model projections. Not for simple CRUD, essential for high-read domains with complex queries \(e-commerce catalog, analytics\).
