CQRS & the architecture coming along
In my previous blog post I made a proposal in the footnotes to rename the architecture that often comes along with the pattern CQRS. I thought of a “Circular Architecture” to clearly contrast it with a “Layered Architecture”. After a brief discussion with Greg Young and Alistair Cockburn about this I decided to take this idea under the microscope. They both claimed that the “Hexagonal Architecture” describes this architecture sufficiently. That got me thinking, since I respect both their opinions very much. First some definitions.
