This book is the result of my efforts. Its goal is to democratize domain-driven design; make it easier to understand and more accessible to employ. I believe that the DDD methodology is absolutely invaluable, especially when designing modern software systems. This book will give you just enough tools to start applying domain-driven design in your day-to-day work.
Who Should Read This Book
I believe that knowledge of domain-driven design principles and patterns will be useful for software engineers at all levels: junior, senior, staff, and principal. Not only does DDD provide tools and techniques for modeling and effectively implementing software, it also illuminates an often-overlooked aspect of software engineering: the context. Equipped with the knowledge of the system’s business problem, you will be much more effective at choosing the appropriate solution. A solution that is not under- or over-engineered, but addresses business needs and goals.
Domain-driven design is even more important for software architects, and even more so for aspiring software architects. Its strategic design decision tools will help you decompose a large system into components—services, microservices, or subsystems—and design how the components are integrated with one another to form a system.
Ultimately, in this book we will discuss not only how to design software, but also how to co-evolve the design with changes in its business context. That crucial aspect of software engineering will help you keep the system’s design “in shape” over time and prevent its degradation into a big ball of mud.
