In this episode, Sara speaks with Andy Whitaker from the State of Indiana. Andy's been working on his “new” project for the past couple of years.
He arrived at this team with previous Axon Framework experience as well as a great deal of knowledge and experience using DDD, CQRS, and microservices.
However, this time around he was faced with some new (and somewhat unexpected) challenges. We talked about some of those challenges and how Andy tackled the issues and overcame them. His team is now using both Axon Framework and Axon Server Enterprise Edition in their project.

In this episode, I spoke with my colleague Christian Vermorken about Axon Framework. Christian walked me through the process of designing an application and what patterns and strategies you need to consider before deciding on which tools, libraries, and frameworks to use. We talked about how to start this process without a framework and building a DIY framework for your use case and how challenging that might be. We then focused on the benefits of using Axon Framework if you want to build an application using CQRS. Christian also shared with me his experience of learning about CQRS and DDD while using Axon Framework. We talked about why it is important to use this framework that by now has been around for over a decade with a strong team of developers that are continuously improving it and making it even better, and also the vast community behind it. Christian expressed how this community helped him when he first started using Axon Framework and was learning about these concepts and patterns six years ago. That community has only gotten larger and stronger by now. And lastly, we talked about why many in DDD and CQRS communities are against using a framework.
