Why we created Spine

We started working on Spine after two CQRS/ES projects and having the experience of tons of manual work for:

• creating commands, events, etc.
• delivering events and data to web and mobile clients.

Being a team that strives for efficiency in each product we create, implementing a great deal of cutting edge technologies to make development process easier and more productive, we could not just accept it. Instead, we decided to create a framework that can help us and development groups like us to build CQRS/ES apps easier.

There are four fundamental principles Spine is based on:

• Events and Commands should be strongly typed.
• It should be easy to pass messages between different programming languages and platforms. We want a domain language become really Ubiquitous.
• Classes must be immutable unless there is a good reason not to do so.
