What is Laravel CQRS architecture and when should it be used?

CQRS separates read and write operations into different models for scalability and clarity.

Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) splits application logic into commands (write operations) and queries (read operations). In Laravel, this is implemented using separate service classes or handlers. Commands mutate state, while queries fetch optimized read models. This improves scalability, especially in systems with heavy read/write imbalance.
