Smart Pointers in C++

* Smart pointer classes are defined in <memory> header, so we need to include "memory" header to use smart pointers.
* The header gives access to three template based smart pointers each with unique features.
* We get "unique_ptr", "shared_ptr", "weak_ptr"
*  Unique pointer are type of smart pointers that can’t be copied.std::unique_ptr is a smart pointer that owns and manages another object through a pointer and disposes of that object when the unique_ptr goes out of scope.
*  Shared pointer is much like “unique_prt” but we can make copies of it.
*  Weak pointer is a special case of shared pointer. Weak pointer helps in breaking circular references.Destruction using weak pointer will not care about destruction of other objects referenced from this present object under destruction.

Event Sourcing with CQRS.

  The way event sourcing works with CQRS is to have  part of the application that models updates as writes to an event log or Kafka topic . This is paired with an event handler that subscribes to the Kafka topic, transforms the event (as required) and writes the materialized view to a read store.

GraphQL microservices (GQLMS)

I'm curios of GraphQL !     -  GraphQL is an open-source data query and manipulation language for APIs, and a runtime for fulfilling queries with existing data. GraphQL was developed internally by Facebook in 2012 before being publicly released in 2015. It should be solving a problem in querying data !     -GraphQL lets you ask for what you want in a single query, saving bandwidth and reducing waterfall requests. It also enables clients to request their own unique data specifications. A case study ?!    -https://netflixtechblog.com/beyond-rest-1b76f7c20ef6 So, This is just another database technoloy ?  -  No. GraphQL is often confused with being a database technology. This is a misconception, GraphQL is a   query language   for APIs - not databases. In that sense it’s database agnostic and can be used with any kind of database or even no database at all.
