Getting Started with DDD

First steps in the Understanding DDD series

Learn the fundamentals of Domain-Driven Design (DDD), understand when to apply it, and discover how DDD's core principles like ubiquitous language and bounded contexts help build better software systems.

Ubiquitous Language

Building shared vocabulary between business and development teams

Learn how Ubiquitous Language in Domain-Driven Design creates a shared vocabulary between technical and business teams, improving communication and software development outcomes.

Domains, Subdomains and Bounded Contexts

Drawing effective boundaries in complex systems

Learn how Domain-Driven Design uses domains, subdomains, and bounded contexts to organize complex systems, establish clear boundaries, and align software architecture with business priorities.

Strategic Design with Context Mapping

Visualizing and managing relationships between bounded contexts

Learn how Context Mapping in DDD helps visualize relationships between bounded contexts through patterns like Partnership, Shared Kernel, and Customer-Supplier, enabling better system integration and team collaboration.

Tactical Design with Aggregates

Building blocks of domain models and consistency boundaries

Learn how Aggregates in DDD help protect business rules, maintain consistency, and create expressive domain models through guidelines like small boundaries, identity references, and eventual consistency.
