The Essence of Axon Framework

Axon Framework provides an underlying technology platform to allow building of solutions that utilise the CQRS and Event Sourcing architectural patterns. It combines these with a message bus approach that allows for distribution, location transparency and service redundancy.

In this post, rather than describe Axon Framework in great detail, I just want to focus on the main essence of this framework. More details can be found in the resources section at the end of the post.

The Essence of Event Sourcing

Event Sourcing is a really interesting pattern in software engineering. It is an alternative approach to maintaining the state of a domain model and managing its persistence.

There’s a wealth of great material around this pattern and how to use it for building software. If you’d like more information then I’ve included a section at the end of this post with a list of useful resources.

In this post, rather than explain all the details of Event Sourcing, I want to just focus on what I think is the essence of this pattern. Armed with this information you can then go off and explore the subject in more detail.
