Refactoring sales order processing

As part of the work in this chapter, I also completed the refactor for the sales order processing module. In doing so, I built out a new read model with a ViewBuilder class and View to support the SalesOrder entity. I will not go over all of that code here, because, for the most part, it's on par with what we just covered for book. I will highlight some of the differences here though. I'll also detail how I redid the inventory allocation process so its not based on Persistence Query and our resumable projection framework.

Denormalization in the SalesOrder read model

As this model is to be optimized to make queries more efficient, then denormalization is an acceptable practice, even though something like this is frowned upon in the write model, which is less efficient for storage. We took advantage of this ability when building...
