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.
