Domain Driven Design: The Holy Grails

TLDRIn this video, we explore the Holy Grails of domain-driven design: the Strategic Phase and the Tactical Phase. We discuss the importance of identifying bounded contexts and aggregates, and how they contribute to building an effective domain model.

Key insights

🔑The Strategic Phase focuses on exploring the problem space and defining bounded contexts, which are logical boundaries in domain modeling.

📈The Tactical Phase focuses on identifying aggregates, which are small groups of domain models that enforce business rules and invariants.

Q&A

What is a bounded context?

A bounded context is a logical boundary in which a domain model applies. It helps define the scope and responsibilities of a specific domain model.

What is an aggregate?

An aggregate is a group of one or more domain models that always need to stay consistent as a whole, enforcing business rules and invariants.
