How to Architect a Well-Modularized System with Domain-Driven Design

Written by Susan Johnson | Oct 1, 2022 9:46:19 PM

Domain-driven design (DDD) is a software development approach that helps you solve complex problems by connecting the implementation to an evolving model.

DDD comprises an array of tools that essentially capture the domain model in domain terms, embed the model in the code, and protect it from corruption. It can also be thought of as a process where software development is driven by design and user experience.

However, all of that brings us to the question, “How do you implement DDD in your system?” You’ll find out if you keep reading, along with other related concepts such as:

  • Defining a big ball of mud in DDD
  • Comparing microservices and monoliths
  • Splitting projects into smaller bits with domain-driven design
  • Incorporating DDD into your system strategically

The following guide is based on a presentation given by Sebastian Buczyński, Technical Lead at Sauce Labs, during our PowerIT Conference to celebrate 30 years of Python. Head over here to watch the full recording of Sebastian’s webinar on the subject:
