amadeus-dlc CQRS Aggregate Modeling
In CQRS, an aggregate is not a read model. It only needs the state required to decide whether a command is valid and which events to emit.
Workflow
Identify each command the aggregate handles.
List the state needed to validate and execute those commands.
Remove query-only projections, history lists, counters, denormalized display fields, and report data from the command aggregate.
Put read concerns into read models updated from events.
Redraw aggregate boundaries around true invariants and command contention.
Modeling Rules
Keep state minimal, invariant-bearing, and command-oriented.
Prefer IDs and event references over embedded external aggregates.
Model lifecycle as explicit state transitions when commands depend on it.
Treat unbounded collections as read-model material unless they enforce a true invariant.
Detailed Reference
For non-trivial implementation, review, or refactoring work, read references/details.md before giving final guidance. It contains the detailed rules, examples, smells, and migration notes that do not belong in the short invocation body.
Output
Return the command-state matrix, proposed aggregate boundary, events, read models, and migration risks.
