boundaries of your system s microservices Have you been slowed down by the technical complexity of your codebase Has your team been stepping on each other s toes If your answers to any of these questions are yes then applying Domain Driven Design to your microservices is likely to be useful to your team One of the difficult choices in microservices architecture is coming up with boundaries and deciding whether a particular piece of code should be turned into a microservice Technical teams often make this decision without taking a business perspective on what really makes sense Using DDD the boundaries for microservices are better designed by bringing both technical and business teams together to achieve the project s goals This book takes key concepts from DDD and applies them to microservices architecture Using an example business domain and end to end code examples you ll learn to design and implement microservices using DDD You ll also understand DDD s relationships to data mesh team topologies and micro frontends Bring technical and business teams together and achieve your project s goals The term Domain Driven Design DDD was coined by Eric Evans in his seminal book Domain Driven Design Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software published in 2003 and was well ahead of its time In recent years microservice architecture has gained a lot of attention as one of the most popular evolutionary architecture styles DDD is an immensely useful tool for designing scalable systems platforms and a solid basis for designing better microservices architecture DDD is also useful for building distributed data architectures including data mesh and for organizing a large team using team topologies
