Bounded Contexts & Aggregates
Define clear boundaries for your microservices using Bounded Contexts and design robust aggregates for transactional consistency.
DDD & Why Boundaries Matter
Welcome to Domain-Driven Design (DDD)! This lesson explores how to manage complexity in large systems, especially SaaS applications, by defining clear boundaries.
As systems grow, understanding where one part of the business logic ends and another begins becomes crucial. DDD provides tools for this.
Defining Bounded Contexts
A Bounded Context is a central pattern in DDD. It defines a specific area within your overall domain where a particular model and its associated language are valid.
- Think of it as a conceptual boundary.
- Inside, terms have clear, unambiguous meanings.
- Outside, those same terms might mean something different.
