Dealing with communication between bounded contexts
Now that you have a solid understanding of the importance of well-defined boundaries, we can move on to the last aspect of bounded contexts: communication. To build a cohesive system, these bounded contexts must interact effectively. That is why proper communication between bounded contexts is crucial. Strategic design offers some patterns to help you identify the best solutions based on our context of operation. Your goal here is to have a clear picture of how different parts of the system interact and relate with each other.
Importance of correct communication
Effective communication between bounded contexts ensures that the system functions as a unified whole. When bounded contexts fail to communicate correctly, inconsistencies and integration issues arise, leading to a fragmented system. Proper communication mechanisms help in the following ways:
- Maintaining consistency: Ensuring that data and behavior are...
