Implementing Domain-Driven Design:
by Vaughn Vernon

Implementing Domain-Driven Design presents a top-down approach to understanding domain-driven design (DDD) in a way that fluently connects strategic patterns to fundamental tactical programming tools. Vaughn Vernon couples guided approaches to implementation within modern architectural styles, highlighting the importance and value of focusing on the business domain while balancing technical considerations. By doing so, he clarifies the role and implications of DDD, while helping software professionals overcome its challenges.

Building on Eric Evans’ seminal book, Domain-Driven Design , Vernon presents practical DDD techniques through examples from familiar domains. Each principle is backed up by realistic Java examples–all applicable to C# developers–and all content is tied together by a single case study: the delivery of a large-scale Scrum-based SaaS system for a multitenant environment.

The author takes you far beyond “DDD-lite” approaches that embrace DDD solely as a technical toolset, showing how to fully leverage its “strategic design patterns” using Bounded Context, Context Maps, and the Ubiquitous Language. Using these techniques and examples, you can reduce time to market and improve quality, as you build software that is more flexible, more scalable, and more tightly aligned to business goals. Coverage includes

Getting started the right way with DDD, so you can rapidly gain value from it

Creating Context Maps that help you understand business domains, model boundaries, and discover integration opportunities

Using DDD within diverse architectures, including Hexagonal, SOA, REST, CQRS, Event-Driven, and Fabric/Grid-Based

Appropriately designing and applying Entities–and learning when to use Value Objects instead

Mastering DDD’s powerful new Domain Events technique

Organizing model objects into correctly sized containers with limited coupling to objects elsewhere

Cutting through the complexity previously associated with Aggregates, and using them to design more effective models

Identifying opportunities to use Factories in a DDD setting

Designing Repositories for ORM, NoSQL, and other databases 1lIntegrating Core Domains with supporting Bounded Contexts
