Domain Types: Identifying core, supporting, and generic domains
Not all domains are equally important. Domain-Driven Design classifies them into core, supporting, and generic domains, helping teams focus their effort where the business gains the most competitive advantage.
Ubiquitous Language: Structuring knowledge into domains (Part 3)
The same word can mean different things in different domains. Identifying these differences helps reveal domain boundaries and ensures the language within each domain remains clear and unambiguous.
Mind the gap between problem and solution spaces
Every system starts with a Problem Space - the needs, issues, and expectations of stakeholders. The Solution Space defines how we address those problems through design and architecture.
The good, the bad and the boundaries
Good architecture is not about choosing one type of boundary. It’s about combining domain, technical, and infrastructure perspectives to design systems that evolve with growing knowledge.
