Explore DDD 2017 – Denver, Sept. 21-22

Most discussions about the implementation of a new system or component (especially when considering a microservices-based architecture) start by evaluating the various technical options and challenges that they come with. However, the real business value isn’t in these technical choices, but in the functionality. While the use of frameworks seems to trigger some controversy in the Domain-Driven Design community, they can provide great value in separating the functional aspects of the technology.

Allard Buijze shares the lessons he learned on DDD (and CQRS) while building the Axon Framework. How can a framework help developers build better software, faster? Why do certain frameworks fail, and take you down with them? How can a framework promote, instead of inhibiting, the use of a good model?

About Allard

Allard Buijze is Founder and CTO of AxonIQ. Starting at the age of 6, he has developed a great passion for programming and has guided both large and small organizations in building performant and scalable applications. Now, he is on a mission to make implementations of large scale systems easier, using the concepts of Domain-Driven Design, Command-Query Responsibility Segregation, and Event-Driven Architectures. He created the Axon Framework as an experiment initially, but when both large and organizations started using Axon as a solution to their complex problems, AxonIQ was born.

Through his conviction that good craftsmanship can only be achieved through continuous and intensive exchange of experience with others, Allard is a frequent speaker at conferences and meetups and enjoys giving training to fellow developers and architects. Allard is also regularly found in board rooms, explaining the concepts and values of DDD, CQRS, and EDA to C-level executives.

Systems Thinking Intro with Lorraine Steyn

Systems thinking is the macro behaviour that we must understand in analyzing our world. A system always produces what it is designed to do, even if that isn't at all what we meant it to do! Systems are self-maintaining, and contain balancing and/or reinforcing...
