CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) is a software pattern that separates reading and writing data into distinct models. The "Command" model handles data modifications, while the "Query" model focuses on data retrieval. This separation enhances scalability, performance, and flexibility, especially in complex, high-traffic applications.
