Axon Framework

Axon Framework is a framework for building evolutionary, event-driven microservice systems, based on the principles of Domain Driven Design, Command-Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) and Event Sourcing.

As such it provides you the necessary building blocks to follow these principles. Building blocks like Aggregate factories and Repositories, Command, Event and Query Buses, and an Event Store. The framework provides sensible defaults for all of these components out of the box.

This set up helps you create a well-structured application without having to bother with the infrastructure. The main focus can thus become your business functionality.
