What is domain-driven design (DDD)?
First, we can say what DDD is not. It is not a framework, or a library, to be installed on our computers to guide us in the development of software systems.
At the heart of DDD are two interconnected principles: ubiquitous language and bounded context.
Ubiquitous language is a shared vocabulary consistently used by all stakeholders, including domain experts, developers, and business teams. It eliminates ambiguities in communication, ensuring that everyone involved speaks the same language when discussing the domain. This shared understanding directly influences the accuracy and clarity of the software model, aligning it closely with the business domain.
Bounded context defines the boundaries within which a specific domain model and its associated ubiquitous language apply. These boundaries prevent overlaps or inconsistencies between different parts of a system, enabling teams to work independently within their assigned contexts. This...
