Aggregator pattern
We scope the datas needed in each domain and what data needs to be shared between domains. At this point, we do risk duplicating data points across domains. Still, it is a condition we accept, given the need to promote autonomy across the services and their respective databases.
In scoping the data requirements, we use the aggregator pattern, which allows us to define the various data requirements and relationships the different entities will have. An aggregate represents a cluster of domain objects that can be seen as a single unit. In this scoping exercise, we seek to find a root element in this cluster, and all other entities are seen as domain objects with associations with the root.
The general idea in scoping our domain objects per service is to capture the minimum amount of data needed for each service to operate. This means we will try to avoid storing entire domain records in several services and instead allow our services to communicate to retrieve...
