Tactical Patterns

Having explored the key strategic patterns in the previous chapter, we now shift our focus to the tactical patterns of DDD. The patterns we will cover include entities, value objects, aggregates, repositories, services, and modules.

We will conclude the chapter with an in-depth analysis of events, in which we will discuss their significance. We will clarify the distinctions between domain events and integration events, ensuring you grasp their importance and correct application in DDD.

By the end of this chapter, you will have a comprehensive understanding of these tactical patterns and their critical role in effective DDD.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

Understanding tactical patterns in DDD
Services and modules
Domain and integration events

Alberto Acerbis

Alberto Acerbis

Alberto Acerbis is basically an eternal student because the subject matter is endless. He has always defined himself as a backend developer, but he does not disdain poking around on the other side of the code either. He likes to think that 'writing' software is mainly about solving business problems and providing value to the customer, and in this, he finds DDD patterns a great help. I am a co-founder of the DDD Open and Polenta and Deploy communities.
