The Power of Aggregates: Keeping Complex Systems Under Control

🔑Aggregates are necessary to prevent successful systems from spinning out of control as complexity grows.

💡Aggregates function as a unit of consistency and define a boundary for associated objects.

🏛️The aggregate root acts as a gateway to the aggregate, allowing controlled access to its internal components.

🧩An aggregate's identity differentiates it from other aggregates, even if their internal values are the same.

🕰️Aggregates are crucial for managing data changes and maintaining consistency under high concurrency.

Why are aggregates necessary?

—Aggregates prevent successful systems from becoming unmanageable as complexity and concurrency grow.

What is the role of the aggregate root?

—The aggregate root serves as a gateway, controlling access to an aggregate's internal components.

What is the purpose of an aggregate's identity?

—An aggregate's identity distinguishes it from other aggregates, even if their internal values are the same.

How do aggregates handle data changes?

—Aggregates process data changes through their aggregate root, ensuring consistency under high concurrency.

Why is maintaining consistency important?

—Consistency ensures that data changes to associated objects within an aggregate are immediately consistent.
