What HumanX Amsterdam revealed about AI in regulated industries, legacy systems and the decisions leaders need to stand behind. 

Retail systems fail the business before they fail technically. See how event-driven architecture lets retailers change business models without rewrites or downtime.

Government AI explainability requirements are expanding worldwide. See why event-sourced architecture, not documentation, is how agencies meet them.

Regulated explainability lets financial firms reconstruct and justify AI-influenced decisions for auditors and regulators. See why event sourcing makes it a byproduct, not a bolt-on.

Axon Framework 4 reached end of life on June 30, 2026. What PCI DSS, SOC 2 & ISO 27001 ask for, and the clearest paths to staying audit-ready.

What is durable execution? See how it keeps multi-step workflows crash-proof and turns every step into a permanent, auditable record built for the AI era.

Axon Server release adds one-button DCB migration, non-voting members for cluster resilience, and topology changes up to several hundred times faster.

Discover how Specification-Driven Development (SDD) and Event Modeling transform chaotic business requirements into validated, production-ready event-sourced code.

AI will demand things that most systems can't give. It needs to explain decisions after they were made. It needs the data together with the context that gives the data meaning. It brings a number of agents that will put real pressure on how systems scale. And when an agent gets something wrong, the system has to recover gracefully. Event sourcing answers all of those.

What's the difference between Axon Framework and Axoniq Framework? A four-line migration, a sequenced DLQ, and a new snapshot policy API.

Axoniq's Jessica Reeves and Allard Buijze on why event sourcing gives AI the complete, auditable history it needs, and how to adopt it without a rewrite.

When regulated systems fail, recovery isn't enough. See why traditional disaster recovery breaks audit trails, and how event sourcing keeps the record intact.

Based on Axoniq’s webinar with Lead Product Architect Marc Klefter, this article explains why AI agents that can’t remember what happened in your business domain can’t be trusted — and how event sourcing creates a native system of record for domain-aware AI agents.

By August 2026, EU AI Act compliance requires full decision lineage for every AI-assisted decision. Most organizations are solving the wrong problem. Here's what actually works.

Based on Axoniq’s livestream with Allard Buijze, Martin Dilger, and Adam Dymitruk, this article explains how Dynamic Consistency Boundaries replace aggregates to improve agility in event-sourced systems.

How JobRunr integrates with the Axon Framework as an event scheduler, tackling the hard parts of distributed scheduling: persistence, observability, and guaranteed execution.

AI agents are making autonomous decisions in production. But can your infrastructure explain what they did and undo it? Axoniq CEO Jessica Reeves and Founder Allard Buijze on why event sourcing is the missing memory layer for enterprise AI.

I've spent my career at the intersection of open source and enterprise infrastructure. At Anaconda, I watched a community of data scientists and developers become the foundation of modern AI because it was genuinely, foundationally right for what was coming.

Axon Framework is staying open source. But we're introducing something new: Axoniq Framework. Those two letters - "iq" - make all the difference.

Event sourcing stores a complete history of system events, but how do you extract insights from it? Learn how event sourcing analytics unlocks business intelligence, AI explainability, and real-time insights from event streams.

FSMA compliance demands fast, causal traceability across complex retail supply chains. Discover why legacy system architectures fall short and how event sourcing creates audit-ready, AI-ready infrastructure by design.

Most organizations can restore their databases but cannot answer the questions that matter: which customers were affected? How do we prove to regulators what happened?

Event sourcing solves this by capturing every transaction as permanent, immutable events. Teams can replay history, investigate corruption forensically, and satisfy compliance requirements; turning disaster recovery from restoration guesswork into precise reconstruction.

The agentic AI revolution is here. Autonomous systems are making thousands of business decisions daily, things like: pricing products, approving transactions, routing inventory, managing risk, and more. It's exhilarating and powerful. And for most organizations, it's a ticking time bomb. 

This three-part blog series explores how Apache Kafka and Axoniq serve different but complementary roles in event-driven architecture, and how the combination positions organizations for the next wave of intelligent, autonomous systems.

Most teams start event sourcing on a database they already run. PostgreSQL and MongoDB work as event stores until they don't. Here's what breaks at scale.

The Developers Edition: Why Distributed Systems Architecture Will Change Fundamentally by 2026

The AI revolution isn't failing because of insufficient model sophistication; it's failing because we're building intelligent systems on architectures designed for a different era.

Discover how Axon’s Dynamic Consistency Boundary and Event Tagging modernize legacy architectures, eliminate snapshots, and enable adaptive AI-driven systems.
