Event sourcing stores every state change as an immutable event and derives current state by replay; CQRS separates the write model from read models. Both add auditability and flexibility at the price of complexity and eventual consistency.

What it is

With event sourcing, the system of record is an append-only log of domain events ("ArticleCreated", "ProposalAccepted"); current state is a projection built by replaying the log. Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) uses different models for updating and reading, typically a normalised write model and denormalised read models updated from the events.

Why it matters

The event log is a complete audit trail and allows new read models to be built retroactively. Read models can be shaped for each query. The costs are real: eventual consistency between write and read sides, schema evolution of events, replay time, and a mental model that most teams have not practised.

How to apply

Use event sourcing where the history is itself a requirement (accounting, audit, collaborative editing) and where events are the natural language of the domain.
Keep CQRS local: one bounded context, one team, explicit projections with rebuild scripts.
Version events from the start and write upcasters for old versions.
For most CRUD systems, a single relational model with a modest change log (as this wiki keeps for thirty days) is simpler and sufficient.

Pitfalls

Treating the event log as a message bus for other systems. Replaying millions of events on every start without snapshots. Adopting the pattern for a domain whose only requirement is "store and retrieve".
