This document discusses CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) and Event Sourcing principles and how they are applied in Magento's Multi-Source Inventory (MSI) module. It provides an overview of how MSI uses a CQRS architecture with event sourcing to allow inventory to be managed across multiple sources. It describes how MSI uses event sourcing to store inventory data and reservations and allows querying inventory availability. It also discusses how MSI supports microservices and provides APIs for integration with other systems.
