Many applications are built with the same architectural style: a layered architecture with (more often than not) an anaemic domain model. While easy to set up, this architectural style doesn’t help us deal with growing complexity or heavy non-functional requirements.

In this presentation, Allard will introduce CQRS (Command-Query Responsibility Segregation) and Axon Framework. CQRS is an architectural pattern that helps build scalable and maintainable software, by applying a few very simple, yet powerful, principles. Axon is a framework that simplifies the implementation of CQRS based architectures on the JVM.
