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.

Event-driven architectures promise resilience, scalability, and a clear history of your business. The journey often starts with a simple, pragmatic choice: using a familiar, generic database like PostgreSQL or MongoDB as an event store. It seems like the path of least resistance—a quick way to get started without adding new technology to the stack.
