title: Is it possible to scale Axon Framework without Axon Server Enterprise
body: <p>Is it possible to scale Axon Framework without Axon Server <strong>Enterprise</strong>? I'm interested in creating a prototype CQRS app with Axon, but the final, deployable system has to be be free from licensing fees. If Axon Framework can't be scaled to half a dozen nodes using free software, then I should probably look elsewhere. </p>
  
  <p>If Axon Framework turn out not to be a good choice for the system, what would you recommend? Would building something around Apache Pulsar be a sensible alternative?</p>
