Introduction

Legacy Documentation Warning!

Since the first of October 2024, we moved Axon's documentation from the "Reference Guide" to "AxonIQ Docs." You can find the latter at https://docs.axoniq.io/

Hence, if you are looking for the documentation for newer versions of Axon Framework, Axon Server, or any of the Framework Extensions, we strongly recommend you browse to AxonIQ Docs instead.

This section of the reference guide intends to cover in detail the capabilities that the Axon Framework provides to help build applications based on CQRS/DDD and Event Sourcing
