Overview
Domain-Driven Design (DDD) provides a set of strategic and tactical patterns that enable teams to model complex domains, align software with business goals, and reduce conceptual mismatch.
Key Takeaways
- Focus on the core domain and build a shared language between developers and domain experts.
- Separate core domain logic from infrastructure using bounded contexts.
- Apply tactical patterns such as entities, value objects, aggregates, repositories, and factories.
- Use strategic design tools like context maps and subdomains to organize large systems.
- Emphasize iterative development and continuous learning to evolve the model.
Who Would Benefit
- Technical leaders seeking a disciplined approach to complex system design.
- Engineering managers responsible for aligning architecture with business outcomes.
- Software architects and senior developers implementing large-scale applications.
- Product owners and domain experts who want a common language with the development team.
