Exploring Axon

During this conversation, Sara spoke with colleague and Axon-Server engineer Stefan Dragisic about multitenancy, its benefits, and drawbacks. Stefan explained multitenancy, its usefulness, and who can benefit from using our multitenancy extension for Axon Server and Axon Framework.  

We have code samples to try the Axon Framework's multitenancy feature and learn more about the extension. 

Stefan also wrote a great blog about multi-tenancy that you can read here.

Sara asked Allard Buijze, the CTO of AxonIQ, various questions about his role as the CTO and his other responsibilities at AxonIQ. 

In this episode, Sara spoke with Arjan Noordhoek, a software architect, and consultant. They talked about Arjan’s new event modeling tool, Model My Code. He explained how to use it and where to get it. He discussed why it is important to, as he puts it, make design center-stage again, as well as the importance of outcome-driven discovery sessions. Arjan’s tool will be available as a public beta next week.

You can find out more about Arjan's company here.

Sara spoke with a colleague, Mitchell Herrijgers, one of Axon Framework's engineers and one of AxonIQ's Solutions Architects. Mitchell has been leading a project for a tool internally called "Inspector Axon." This tool helps developers monitor various things within their Axon Framework-based application and gauge metrics, find out about various event processors, and much more. The name will most likely change once it is publicly available, but for now, we are referring to it as "Inspector Axon."

Mitchell also worked on a different project last year: the IntelliJ plugin for Axon Framework. He also briefly talked about that at the end of the session. 

If you are interested in becoming one of our private beta testers for Inspector Axon, please watch our social media for an announcement, or you can reach us through our website.

Sara spoke with Allard Buijze, the CTO of AxonIQ live, about the various types of nodes currently used in Axon Server and the benefits of each. He then explained the difference between tiered storage and our current data storage method and if they can complement one another. Tiered Storage is a new feature in Axon Server Enterprise Edition that will be available sometime in the first quarter of 2023. 

If you are interested in trying this and other unique Axon Server EE features, don't hesitate to get in touch with us. You can try Axon Server EE for free! Just ask for a trial license.

Sara's guest today is Laurent Thoulon from the company, Locala. Laurent is a software engineer and architect working with event sourcing for the past five years and has gained some great insights in the process. He shared his experiences designing systems and applications through event modeling, communication with the business side, and more.

Here is Laurent's talk at our 2022 AxonIQ Conference in Amsterdam.

In this portion of our conversation, Dominic talked about how ABAC can be used to secure Axon applications. He explained the spring boot integration, Axon's command side, and the query side. He talked about the annotation he introduced in his framework that integrates very nicely with the axon framework. He also talked about integration, how it can be deployed, and what kinds of support are offered for authoring policies. Dominic talked about this topic during our conference in September of last year in Amsterdam, and I will include the link to that talk and other helpful information in the notes.

Here is Dominic's presentation at our 2022 AxonIQ Conference in Amsterdam. 

I recently enjoyed talking with Dominic Heutelbeck about Attribute-Based Access Control. Dominic is a computer science professor leading the FTK (Forschungsinstitut für Telekommunikation und Kooperation e.V.) Research Institute in Dortmund, Germany.  In the first portion of our talk, Dominic explained access control and its importance. He also explained Attribute-Based Access Control and why one would want to use it. He explained policies, the differences between traditional ABAC and existing standards, such as XACML, and much more.  In the next portion of our conversation, Dominic will explain how ABAC can secure Axon-based applications.  Below are some resources to learn more about our topic of conversation and Dominic's research: FTK Institute: https://www.ftk.de Website: https://sapl.io Playground: https://playground.sapl.io Demos (Including Axon Demo) on GitHub: https://github.com/heutelbeck/sapl-extensions  Connect with Dominic on LinkedIn and GitHub.  Connect with Sara on LinkedIn and Twitter.  For more information about us, visit axoniq.io

In this episode, Sara spoke with a few members of the Axon Server team about our newest product, Axon Synapse. The Synapse makes it possible for all applications, regardless of the language, to use an HTTP bridge to access Axon Server and use it. Therefore, there is no need to use Axon Framework or a plugin to use Axon Server. They discussed the benefits of using the Synapse and some pitfalls. 

You can try Axon Synapse's beta version and let us know about your experience. We are very much interested in your feedback, so please don't hesitate to let us know through our Discuss platform.
