How do you implement CQRS and Event Sourcing in enterprise PHP using Prooph or Broadway?

❓ Interview Prompt: Explain Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS), Event Sourcing, replaying immutable domain event streams, and read/write separation.

In enterprise domain-driven applications, CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) separates write operations (Commands) from read operations (Queries).

Event Sourcing Architecture:

1
No State Mutation: Domain entities do not store current state columns; instead, state is derived by replaying an immutable stream of historical Domain Events ('AccountCreated', 'MoneyDeposited').
2
EventStore Database: Events are appended sequentially to an immutable EventStore SQL/NoSQL database.
3
Asynchronous Projectors: Read views (MySQL/Elasticsearch) are updated asynchronously by Projectors listening to domain event streams, optimizing query reads.

Code Implementation Example

php
<?php
// CQRS Domain Event in PHP
readonly class MoneyDepositedEvent {
    public function __construct(
        public string $accountId,
        public int $amountCents,
        public DateTimeImmutable $occurredOn
    ) {}
}

🎯 Interview Key Takeaway

CQRS and Event Sourcing separate read/write models, deriving domain state by replaying an immutable stream of domain events.
