Product Description »

Code Samples Repo ·Technical Overview ·Feature / Bug Request

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

Axon Framework provides you with the necessary building blocks to follow these principles.Examples of building blocks are aggregate design handles, aggregate repositories, command buses, saga design handles, event stores, query buses, and more.The framework provides sensible defaults for all of these components out of the box.

The messaging support for commands, events, and queries is at the core of these building blocks.It is the messaging basics that enable an evolutionary approach towards microservices through thelocation transparency they provide.

Axon will also assist in distributing applications to support scalability or fault tolerance, for example.The most accessible and quick road forward would be to useAxon Server to seamlessly adjust message buses to distributed implementations.Axon Server provides a distributed command bus, event bus, query bus, and an efficient event store implementation for scalable event sourcing.Additionally, theAxon Framework organization has several extensions that can help in this space.

All this helps to create a well-structured application without worrying about the infrastructure.Hence, your focus can shift from non-functional requirements to your business functionality.

Numerous resources can help you on your journey in using Axon Framework.A good starting point isAxonIQ Developer Portal, which provides links to resources like blogs, videos, and descriptions.

Furthermore, below are several other helpful resources:

• Thequickstart page of the documentation provides a simplified entry point into the framework with thequickstart project.
• We have our very ownacademy!The introductory courses are free, followed by more in-depth (paid) courses.
• Thereference guide explains all of the components maintained within Axon Framework's products.
• If the guide doesn't help, ourforum provides a place to ask questions you have during development.
• Thehotel demo shows a fleshed-out example of using Axon Framework.
• Thecode samples repository contains more in-depth samples you can benefit from.
• You canAsk Axon Guru, it is an Axon-focused AI to answer your questions.

Are you having trouble using any of our libraries or products?Know that we want to help you out the best we can!There are a couple of things to consider when you're traversing anything Axon:

• Checking thereference guide should be your first stop.
• When the reference guide does not cover your predicament, we would greatly appreciate it if you could file anissue for it.
• Ourforum provides a space to communicate with the Axon community to help you out.AxonIQ developers will help you out on a best-effort basis.And if you know how to help someone else, we greatly appreciate your contributions!
• We also monitor Stack Overflow for any question tagged withaxon.Similarly to the forum, AxonIQ developers help out on a best-effort basis.

We use GitHub'sissue tracking system) for new feature requests, framework enhancements, and bugs.Before filing an issue, please verify that it's not already reported by someone else.Furthermore, make sure you are adding the issue to the correct repository!

When filing bugs:

• A description of your setup and what's happening helps us figure out what the issue might be.
• Do not forget to provide the versions of the Axon products you're using, as well as the language and version.
• If possible, share a stack trace.Please use Markdown semantics by starting and ending the trace with three backticks (```).

When filing a feature or enhancement:

• Please provide a description of the feature or enhancement at hand.Adding why you think this would be beneficial is also a great help to us.
• (Pseudo-)Code snippets showing what it might look like will help us understand your suggestion better.Similarly as with bugs, please use Markdown semantics for code snippets, starting and ending with three backticks (```).
• If you have any thoughts on where to plug this into the framework, that would be very helpful too.
• Lastly, we value contributions to the framework highly.So please provide a Pull Request as well!

The update checker is a new feature included in the upcoming Axon Framework 5, which ensures the security of the AxonFramework application and its modules and provides useful information to its maintainers.

It does so by retrieving available updates and known vulnerabilities for the Axon modules in use. Furthermore, todetect updates and vulnerabilities, the checker collects anonymous data about your Axon Framework installation. Thisdata is sent to AxonIQ and includes technical information about your environment.

Please readthis page of our documentation for more details onwhy we collect this information, what you get in return, how to opt out, and why this matters. Please check outourPrivacy Policy for any privacy concerns.
