If you would like to learn or practice how to break up a large business into domains and use them as the foundation for your software architecture and team organization, I have created a strategic domain-driven design kata that you may find useful. Who to invite? I recommend organising attendees into groups of 4–5 people.

As part of good design, we should consider the effects of changing all of these variables.

I’ve just created a new kata which you and your team/friends can use to practice your architecture and domain-driven design skills. This kata is split into four sections that address different aspects of architecting software systems. First with a domain quiz, and then by slicing up the provided event storm into domains.

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.

Creating an ecosystem that facilitates data security and data privacy by design can be difficult, but it’s critical to securing information. When organizations focus on data privacy by design, they build security considerations into cloud systems upfront rather than as a bolt-on consideration.

Modern software usually involves running tasks that invoke services. The service retrieves the messages from the queue and processes them. Control Costs : You don't have to design your service to meet peak load, but rather average load. The queue acts as a buffer , storing the message until it is retrieved by the service.
