Summary
In this chapter, we analyzed the main reasons for the adoption of DDD and why and how it meets the needs of the market. We described how to identify domains and how to coordinate the teams that work on different domains of the same application with domain maps. Then, we analyzed the way DDD represents data with entities, value objects, and aggregates, providing advice and code snippets so that we can implement them in practice.
We also covered some typical patterns that are used with DDD, that is, the repository and Unit of Work patterns, domain event patterns, CQRS, and event sourcing. Then, we learned how to implement them in practice. We also showed you how to implement domain events and the command pattern with decoupled handling so that we can add code snippets to real-world projects.
Finally, we used the principles of DDD in practice to define domains and to create the first sketch of a domain map for this book’s WWTravelClub use case.
