In this series, I would teach you how to build a microservice that uses CQRS and Event Sourcing using the Axon Framework<\/a>. In this Part 1, we would take an overview of the application we’ll build and the tools we’ll use.<\/p>\n

I recommend you read up the concept of CQRS and Event Sourcing here.<\/a><\/p>\n

    1. The Application we’ll Build<\/strong><\/h5>\n

    We would build a gift card application step by step.<\/p>\n

    A gift card has a particular amount associated with it. I can be issued to someone. Then the recipient can redeem the amount. Also, the amount could be redeemed in parts. As such, when an amount is redeemed, the balance is updated\/reduced.<\/p>\n

    Note: This demo was actually done in a webinar in 2018. However as of Axon Version 2019, the procedure in that webinar has many issues. Besides, the pace was such that beginners and intermediates in Axon Framework could not catch up.<\/p>\n

    So I have taken time to break it down to very simple, easy and clear bits. Besides, I’ll take time to explain the likely problems you’ll encounter and how to solve them<\/p>\n
