5. Bounded Contexts
6. Large complex systems: increased cognitive load
7. Large complex systems: divergence in mental model
8. Large complex systems: subtle nuances in meaning
9. Avoid a big unified centralised model.
10. Split into Bounded Contexts
11. Benefits: clarity model integrity freedom to evolve separately
12. Inspired by departments teams life cycles business processes …
13. Make Bounded Context explicit pure independent consistent within its boundary
14. Modelling
15. Structural modelling Ontological
16. Structural modelling inspired by persistence concerns
17. Relational Normalised CRUD Anaemic
18. Ask your Domain Expert about State Changes!
19. Why does it change? When does it change? How often? Who causes it? By which rules? What consequences?
20. ! ! The moving parts are more interesting than the stable parts
21. ! ! A Domain Model is about:
22. state + structure behaviour + change temporal roles + actors business rules + invariants causality + correlation interaction processes workflows + transitions intention + consequence failure …
23. Modelling: Make the implicit explicit
24. example ! Intentions: Command Objects Consequences: Domain Events
