In this episode, Sara speaks with colleague and lead developer of Axon Framework, Steven van Beelen about AxonIQ's newest, most anticipated feature of Axon Framework 4.6: the Dead-Letter Queue. 

Steven explains what DLQ is and why it's been implemented in our framework. He also speaks about how the users can benefit from it, when to enqueue a message and when not to, where the dead letters are stored, and which infrastructure components are supported in AF DLQ. He also touches on what type of messages the DLQ can be used for and what the logs would look like with out-of-the-box configurations, and whether or not they can be customized. 

Steven will present a FREE webinar on DLQ in Axon Framework on December 6th, 16:00 CET. You can find more information on how to register for this webinar here. We hope to see you there.

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.

Welcome to season 5 of Exploring Axon! 

In this episode, Sara speaks with Malin Litwinski and Russ Miles of Segovia Crown Agents Bank. Segovia provides a safe, secure and reliable platform using APIs to facilitate payments in various nations with complex banking and financial transactional needs. 

Because of their product's nature, they had to choose a framework that equally reliable and capable of dealing with these complexities. The choice of using Axon Framework was an obvious one for their team – and the three discuss why.

They also discuss onboarding, training, documentation and more for those who unfamiliar with the concept of CQRS and DDD as it pertains to Axon Framework.
