Domain-driven design (DDD) advocates modeling based on the reality of business as relevant to your use cases. In the context of building applications, DDD talks about problems as domains. It describes independent problem areas as Bounded Contexts (each Bounded Context correlates to a microservice), and emphasizes a common language to talk about these problems. It also suggests many technical concepts and patterns, like domain entities with rich models (no anemic-domain model), value objects, aggregates, and aggregate root (or root entity) rules to support the internal implementation. This section introduces the design and implementation of those internal patterns.
Dependencies in a DDD Service, the Application layer depends on Domain and Infrastructure, and Infrastructure depends on Domain, but Domain doesn't depend on any layer. This layer design should be independent for each microservice. As noted earlier, you can implement the most complex microservices following DDD patterns, while implementing simpler data-driven microservices (simple CRUD in a single layer) in a simpler way.
Software design thought leader and founder of Domain Language, Eric Evans, provides a systematic approach to domain-driven design, presenting an extensive set of design best practices, experience-based techniques, and fundamental principles that facilitate the development of software projects facing complex domains. Intertwining system design and development practice, this book incorporates numerous examples based on actual projects to illustrate the application of domain-driven design to real-world software modeling and development.
Leading software designers have recognized domain modeling and design as critical topics for at least twenty years, yet surprisingly little has been written about what needs to be done or how to do it. Although it has never been clearly formulated, a philosophy has developed as an undercurrent in the object community, which I call "domain-driven design".
Domain-Driven Design fills that need. This is not a book about specific technologies. It offers readers a systematic approach to domain-driven design, presenting an extensive set of design best practices, experience-based techniques, and fundamental principles that facilitate the development of software projects facing complex domains. Intertwining design and development practice, this book incorporates numerous examples based on actual projects to illustrate the application of domain-driven design to real-world software development.
The picture I got was a middle managers look on DDD: it's another practice that involves moving stickers on the wall until developers get at least some understanding of what the business wants. The book went into very little detail explaining the building blocks of a software system designed in domain-driven manner. And what it seems like no detail on how actual domain concepts should map into the software.
Although my friend claims Vaughn Vernon's DDD Distilled is a must-read book! This is an exciting guide to domain-driven design that will open up new horizons for developers. I researched top writers a lot, found edubirdie.com/top-writers for this. I can not add this author there yet. Author Vaughn Vernon presents complex concepts in a simple and understandable way. This makes the book a valuable resource for anyone interested in programming and software design.
Welcome to this book on domain-driven design (DDD) using Golang. If you have never heard of DDD before, I hope that by the end of this book, you will have a good understanding of what it is, where it came from, how it can be applied, and how to implement some of the patterns popular among DDD proponents using Golang.
Domain-driven design made a lot of cleanup in the IT environment and conquered the hearts of programmers. Eric Evans is one of the most famous people who promote this not so a new way of developing software. Unfortunately, from time to time naming elements of it may cause some problems with fully understanding the idea behind some parts of the DDD. One of them is a service.
Hello, and welcome to All Hands on Tech, where today's leaders talk tomorrow's technology. I'm Jeremy Morgan. Today I'm talking with Julie Lerman, who's a software coach, longtime Pluralsight author, Microsoft MVP, regional director, and Docker Captain. I don't know anyone who knows Entity Framework quite like she does, and today we'll talk about that, plus domain-driven design and building .NET applications on AWS. So let's welcome Julie Lerman.
Sure, I actually just hinted at that also, about the fact that Entity Framework lets me really not spend too much time thinking about how my data is persisted because I'm much more interested in solving my business problems and writing the business logic and dealing with behaviors in my system. And domain-driven design is really all about that. There are two key things in domain-driven design. One is this focus on the domain, the domain being, again, the business problems you're trying to solve with your software. But the other really important thing is about the collaboration with the domain experts. Not just saying, like, say it's a doctor's office, oh, I've been going to the doctor my whole life. I know what your software needs. I'll just get back to you when it's finished. But really collaborating with them, understanding the domain, and really focusing on the problems of the domain.
Oh, well, event storming is actually one of those ideas that evolved out of the DDD community. Alberto Brandolini is a very well known and very brilliant architect, more than architect, but I don't even know what to call him. He's brilliant. He's also hilarious, so if you get a chance to watch any of his recorded sessions, I highly recommend it. Alberto was working with a client, and he was having a really hard time with people, just trying to get everybody to help. Everybody's trying to explain to him who the business works, and everybody's got different perspectives, and he just was not getting a clear story. And it was getting really frustrating. And finally he threw his hands up and with his great funny personality and his Italian accent said, enough, enough, this just isn't working. So he said, all right, here's what we're going to do. He got a pile of stickies, like Post-it notes, and said, just everybody write down, all the things you're trying to tell me, just write them down on stickies, just all the things that happen that you know, the events, the things that are happening in your business process. Just write them down and just stick them on the wall. And that was how event storming began. It's also a fun read in his book. It's called Event Storming. So event storming, so it's brainstorming, but it's focusing on the events in your system, the events in your business process. Because the events are the truth of what really happened. Not, this is what we want to happen, but to really understand the business, where do you start? How it does work. So by focusing on the events you're focused on actual things, the truth, the actual things that happened. So we start with big picture, total chaos, exploring, event storming, where you just get a lot of people in the room, people from across the board who understand the domain, not just the programmers. You get some people who are from the technical end, and people from accounting, somebody from customer service, somebody from sales. So you get the people who really understand the domain in a room and get them to do this thing with stickies. You know, nothing's wrong. Just write these things down, let's stick them on the wall, and then you go through this process of, you know, this iterative process of kind of organizing it and filtering and trying to really understand not just workflow but what are kind of critical dividing lines between important processes that are happening? So what you eventually look for is something called pivotal events. And by defining those pivotal events between these processes, then we're able to identify, it's important in domain-driven design, it's called bounded context. So we've got these different chunks. So what you're doing with DDD is, you're taking a big problem and breaking it down into small problems. And the small problems are disconnected. We have ways of connecting them afterwards, but you focus on each problem individually. And so problems elsewhere, problems that are way down the line, don't muddle up your thinking and your problems solving of a particular area. That's another key thing about domain-driven design. Anyway, so event storming is a great way of getting an understanding of the business process, but also getting an understanding what these different areas are. And one of the interesting things also to be driving for while you're doing event storming is finding, really figuring out what the real problems are that you need to solve, because you might think it's something else before you walk into the room. Or the domain experts, each person from different teams might have their own idea. But then as they're all collaborating on this and sharing information, they might kind of all zone in on like, oh, my gosh, this is really big. Maybe we should be focusing on this instead of that new feature that is just kind of a whiz-bang, like, oh, my God, we're losing money on this.
