18:35 Pragmatic Event-Driven Microservices with the Axon stack by Allard Buijze
19:20 Break
19:45 Exploring an Axon event store with Machine Learning by Attila Houtkooper and Halleh Khoshnevis
20:30 Drinks

The Axon Framework, developed and supported by AxonIQ, was originally started at Trifork Amsterdam and it is thus logical that Trifork and AxonIQ are closely related.

Together we present you this meetup, an evening about events. Allard will talk about the challenges of an event-driven architecture. Attila and Halleh will take you into the world of Machine Learning and show you how you can learn from your events.

"Pragmatic Event-Driven Microservices with the Axon stack"
by Allard Buijze

Abstract
Events are quickly rising in popularity. They are first-class citizens in many modern architectural styles, and for good reasons. Events combine very well with microservices, or system-of-systems architectures.
However, these event-driven systems also bring their challenges. How do you deal with the asynchronous nature of these messages? Should we really turn everything into Events.

In this talk, we will see the role different tools in the Axon stack play in an event-driven microservices architecture, while taking a very pragmatic, evolutionary, approach. Tools such as the open source Axon Framework and the event-based database AxonDB. Tooling that is also tailored for auditing, data analysis and machine learning.

Bio
Allard Buijze is Founder and CTO of AxonIQ. Starting at the age of 6, he has developed a great passion for programming and has guided both large and small organizations in building performant and scalable applications. Now, he is on a mission to make implementations of large scale systems easier, using the concepts of Domain Driven Design, Command-Query Responsibility Segregation and Event Driven Architectures.

"Exploring an Axon event store with Machine Learning"
by Attila Houtkooper and Halleh Khoshnevis.

Finding the match between our specialisation in AI and Machine Learning and our Axon Framework experience was easy because it makes sense. The core concept of events stored in AxonDB enables us to forecast the specific events in the future as well as detecting the anomalies in the flow of the events and so much more. We have the tools and experience to turn large datasets from a domain specific structure contains valuable insights for classification and prediction.

This evening we will give an early sneak preview of the workshop we will give at the Event Driven Microservices Conference in September.

Be sure to strap in as we take you from 20/20 hindsight to 19/19 foresight.

Bio Attila Houtkooper
Attila has extensive software engineering experience, having worked on projects involving predictive maintenance and service support software optimization. He has worked with Axon and ML techniques and has developed the Agile Machine Learning approach for Axon.

Bio Halleh Khoshnevis
Halleh is trained as a computer scientist with the focus on Artificial Intelligence. She has an extensive experience in the fields of natural language processing, Biometrics (face and voice recognition) and fraud detection. Analysing and modelling the business problems by turning them into large data sets and applying sensible data engineering principles, are part of her job at Trifork.
