While the IT industry prides itself on being at the very bleeding edge of technology, it also oversees a relatively high proportion of projects that fail outright or do not meet their originally intended goals for one reason or another. Applying domain-driven design (DDD) can significantly help improve the odds of achieving success. While the concepts of DDD have been in existence for a long time, practical application and scaling has been a challenge, arguably due to a lack of practical techniques, tools and real-world examples that bring all these concepts together as a cohesive whole. In this hands-on practitioner-focused course, we will cover how individuals and teams can apply the strategic and tactical elements of DDD to create valuable software solutions that exhibit high degrees of internal and external quality.
Key Takeaways
1 Discover how to arrive at a shared understanding of the problem domain
2 Understand how to apply strategic design to gain a collective understanding of the problem
3 Establish a clear demarcation between core and peripheral systems
4 Identify how to evolve and decompose complex systems into well-factored components
5 Understand how to apply tactical design to arrive at robust solutions
6 Apply elaboration techniques such as domain storytelling and eventstorming
7 Understand how various architecture patterns (such as layered, SOA, microservices, EDA, Serverless, etc.) work alongside DDD
8 Understand how to apply DDD in a legacy environment (processes, technology) and migrate to an ecosystem of independent components
