Amazing overview! When you break these down, I always feel I'm working on some trivial apps. 😅 Thanks for the shout-out!

Solid breakdown of the challenges, Saurabh!

One thing I’d add:

Idempotency is a lifesaver when dealing with retries and failures, especially in event-driven setups.

Making sure operations don’t accidentally double up can save a ton of headaches.

And many thanks for the mention!

Hi Saurabh,

Firstly, great post! Crisp and to the point.

I have one question about the section "c) Functional Decomposition with CQRS." In this section, you mention that "Read-heavy workloads use denormalized views."

What does the term "denormalized views" mean?
