-Example applications and microservices that use [ddd-4-java](https://github.com/fuinorg/ddd-4-java) and [cqrs-4-java](https://github.com/fuinorg/cqrs-4-java) libraries and an [EventStore](https://eventstore.org/) to store the events (Event Sourcing).

 ## Background
 This application shows how to implement [DDD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-driven_design), [CQRS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command%E2%80%93query_separation) and [Event Sourcing](https://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/EventSourcing.html) without a DDD/CQRS framework. It uses just a few small libraries in addition to  standard web application frameworks like [Quarkus](https://quarkus.io/) and [Spring Boot](https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot/).

 ## Components
 - **[Shared](shared)** - Common code for all demo applications (commands, events, value objects and utilities).

 The **[lubuntu-developer-vm](https://github.com/fuinorg/lubuntu-developer-vm)** has already (almost) everything installed. You only need to  execute the following steps:
 1. Download and install the [lubuntu-developer-vm](https://github.com/fuinorg/lubuntu-developer-vm) as described
 2. OPTIONAL: Change memory of VM to 6 GB (instead of 4 GB default) if you want to create a native image with GraalVM
