These can start our context-free and over time contextual logic can creep-in, for example – a Notification service mutates from being generic to using specific Email templates and Branding depending on the context. Warning: Generic domains are notorious breeding grounds for your monolithic software of the future. For example, if we divide a domain further into core, supporting and generic then it has to be for business reasons, in which case one might argue why it the inner core domain is not pulled up Note: The classification of core, supporting and generic is applicable in a business function context. ![]() Heuristic 5: Know what is common across one or more domains and generic, build common services for these for all others to use There are your generic domains and support your business functions without specific context ( re-useable?) Heuristic 4: Know what you cannot do without, find your supporting domainįinally there are things that you need and generic to all business functions, for example in Insurance context we may need Notification, Document Generation etc. In a brick and mortar scenario, Identity may not be critical but for an online presence it is key It is possible that one team can work in several Bounded Context, but several teams should not work in a single Bounded Context.There are also supporting domains which are key to the core-domains delivering value, for example we need Identity to support taking Claim and Policy domains online.There should be a separate source code repository for each Bounded Context.There must be a team assigned to work on a Bounded Context.I really like the definitions that “ Vaughn Vernon – Domain-Driven Design Distilled“, states in his book in summary form: However, this relationship is not always possible, the most frequent reason is when we are working on legacy systems built without the DDD approach, where a single Bounded Context implements more than one Subdomain, this can generate the Big Ball of Mud, which we will talk in future articles. So we segregate Domain Models by real business intent. It is desirable that code belonging to a Bounded Context implements a single Subdomain. With this it is clear to differentiate that, Subdomains are logical “ separations” of the domain and Bounded Contexts are technical solutions. Vaughn Vernon in his book “ Implementing Domain-Driven Design” states that Subdomains live in the space of the problem and the Bounded Contexts in the solution space. It is only natural when we start studying DDD that we find content that makes it difficult to differentiate between Bounded Contexts and Subdomains, since they both represent “segregation”. Be very careful with that! Bounded Contexts and Subdomains Differences However, reality is often different, and the same entity will be in distinct Bounded Contexts within the same company, and in subjects that look the same. With this information we can identify in which context the entity ‘ Account‘ belongs even if it had not been told which context it belongs here. In the context of e-commerce ‘ Account‘ refers to subjects such as login, account creation, password change and so on. In the banking context ‘ Account‘ refers to subjects such as money, transactions, payments, credit, and may belong to a person or company. It is easy to identify that ‘ Account‘ has different meanings in these two contexts. You may have noticed that there are two Bounded Contexts and within them there is an ‘ Account‘ entity. It is also important to understand that Bounded Context is where the Model is implemented, that is, a Bounded Context is the solution implementation in a technical way. ![]() ![]() This linguistic delimitation refers to ubiquitous language, which is another essential element in DDD. In this article, I would like to bring a real example so you can have a better understanding.Ī Bounded Context is primarily a linguistic delimitation, that is to say that terms and sentences can mean different things, according to the context in which they are employed. In the article “ what-is-strategic-design” I made an introduction about what a Bounded Context is.
