Commands	Events
Represent actions	Represent changes
Invoked synchronously through REST API	Consumed asynchronously from Event Store
Point-to-point	Publish/subscribe

Codebase

Local development

Requirements

OpenJDK 17
Node.js 18
Docker

Docker containers

To get started with local development, you can run in-memory Docker containers for the Infrastructure and Cloud services.

# Start/Stop containers for Infrastructure and Cloud services (recommended)
./local-dev/bin/cloud/up.sh
./local-dev/bin/cloud/down.sh
./local-dev/bin/cloud/follow-logs.sh

# Start/Stop Infrastructure containers only
# Useful when debugging Cloud services
./local-dev/bin/up.sh
./local-dev/bin/down.sh
./local-dev/bin/follow-logs.sh

You can then run the application services manually.
