In Domain-Driven Design, a large system is decomposed into bounded contexts , which become natural boundaries in code as microservices and as teams in the organisation. The Bounded Context Design Canvas I designed this canvas based on the typical flow of strategic DDD workshops I run publicly and privately. Start with simple? —?create

I did a few talks on this subject early in the year, and linked this to the sustainability advantages of serverless architectures. The need for systems to be resilient is still increasing, and chaos engineering tools and techniques are developing as a key way to validate that resilience is working as designed. primarily virtual?—?and

Techniques like big picture event storming are great for mapping out the business and visualising problems and opportunities, but that’s where progress can easily get stuck. How do you go from event storm to product and organizational improvements? Adding complexity to the software domain model to reduce operational complexity (e.g.

In previous blogs , we have explored the power of the digital twin model for stateful stream-processing. Digital twins are software abstractions that track the behavior of individual devices in IoT applications. They combine an event handling function with state information about each device.

Elements of Design. At C++ and Beyond next week (and in December) I’ll also be giving a brand-new half-day talk on Elements of Design. Although those areas are pretty diverse, they also have a lot of commonalities, and the insights and learnings apply directly to mainstream classes-and-libraries production software design.

It is a database of domain, business, and architectural information. We should be able to click a few buttons and get 100% accurate visualisations of the domain model, business processes, and architecture. A self-documenting architecture would reduce the learning curve.

There are thousands of ways we can shape the software systems we build and organise our teams around them. Yet there is no flowchart we can simply follow to find the optimal design. The products themselves are software systems which grow harder and harder to reason about as they scale and age.

If you’re not familiar with the Bounded Context Canvas it is a tool for visualising the key design choices of a Bounded Context or a sub-system in your software architecture.

The utility comes from zooming in and visualizing the real complexity using value stream maps which show more granular steps combined with the processing time of each step and the wait time before each step.

Mapping out your business’s domain landscape has many benefits: knowledge sharing, generating product ideas, providing the foundation for software architecture, aligning on requirements, but a common challenge is… “where do we start?” The high-level structure is not design structure (e.g. Q: What is a domain landscape?

One thing stand-out to me is being intentional and practical about your engineering organisation design. First and foremost, being intentional about organisation design requires good and honest discussions about all possible option. Specialisation could be around products, business process, or technologies. Certainly not.

The techniques we use for visual, collaborative domain modelling are designed for in-person events, where everybody is in the same physical space. Not as a pathetic, temporary alternative to in-person, but a totally different experience designed around it’s limitations and advantages. Or, just take a break.

This has to do with the concept of bounded context from Domain Driven Design.). When processes change, who wins, who loses, and why? Upcoming events.
