Coffee chat with AxonIQ

Join us for the next episode in our interactive coffee chat series, hosted by Sara Torrey. This time, she’s joined by Andy Whitaker, Senior Software Architect at VisualizeIT Consulting, and a key contributor to the modernization of the State of Indiana’s Department of Workforce Development (DWD) systems.

In this session, we’ll dive into a foundational question in event-driven architecture:
“Event-Sourced Aggregates or Simply Raising Events?”
What are the trade-offs? When should you care? And how do you make the right decision in the real world?

Andy brings firsthand experience from Indiana’s DWD transformation—where he helped lead the shift from a rigid monolith to a flexible, resilient microservices architecture using Axon Framework and Axon Server. His insights are shaped by solving complex problems at scale, with a deep understanding of event sourcing in high-stakes environments.

Expect a lively, practical conversation with space for your questions and real-world takeaways.
