Transitioning from Chaos
In the previous chapters, we explored the challenges of navigating a tightly coupled monolithic architecture, using the tangled interactions between SalesOrderService and WarehouseService as a prime example. Now, it is time to bring structure to this chaos.
In this chapter, you will start to refactor your monolithic code base into a well-organized modular monolith using DDD principles. This transformation will not only improve maintainability and scalability but also align your software more closely with the core business domains it serves. You will learn how to identify core business domains, establish clear boundaries between components, and refactor tightly coupled services. By the end of this chapter, you’ll be equipped with practical techniques to create a more manageable and efficient architecture that reflects business needs while reducing complexity.
