I know how annoying things like this can be,
but me and a couple of friends is doing a survey about CQRS vs CRUD for a bachelor theisis assignment

Its 10 questions, really short, would help a lot!

@gintko CQRS is a lot faster due to segregation between queries (read) and commands (create, update, delete).
It's not used as much as normal CRUD operations because it takes a lot more work to get it up and running, but gives a lot more scalability.

But wouldn't consider it being a abstraction layer per-say
