AxonIQ Server

Axon server is a message broker for commands, events, and queries. It’s a proposed pre-build events store. It’s easy to set up, just download the jar or docker image and start without any configuration.

Let’s take three nodes server cluster running and three applications, connected to Axon server nodes. The application can be associated with different server nods as we can see in this diagram. Each application sends events that the server binds its correct contexts with the corresponding event store.
