Solving 5 typical Issues in API development with Domain Driven Design

Featuring Andrew Chaa

Do you mostly write DTO classes, property bags with data from database or from APIs? Do you name every class in the service layer managers, processors, or services? Are you disappointed that you can't do DDD as your day to day job is to build simple CRUDy APIs?

Then, come and join my talk to...

What Really Matters

Featuring Jimmy Nilsson

Over the years we have learnt the hard way that there are a lot of important aspects in software development initiatives. Project management, user experience and operational details are examples of such aspects. They are necessary. However, they are not sufficient.

Strategic Domain-Driven Design Patterns

Featuring Nick Tune

Everybody knows there are hundreds of technical patterns you can apply to microservices. Yet nobody knows about the hundreds of domain patterns you can apply to microservices.

18 Heuristics to Discover your Contexts Boundaries

Featuring Cyrille Martraire

Microservices need DDD absolutely. Bounded Contexts, a key DDD ingredient, are the tool of choice to define services boundaries that won’t end up in a complete disaster at runtime and at deploy time.

Adopting Domain Driven Design at Scale

Featuring Gayathri Thiyagarajan and Andrew Harmel-Law

For the past decade and a half, Domain Driven Design has been giving teams the tools to successfully tackle the complexity at the heart of software. But lots of people fail when they try to put its techniques and patterns into practice. Why? It can't just be because the book is so thick?

From Capabilities to Services: Modelling for Business-IT Alignment

Featuring Trond Hjorteland

The IT industry seems to go through cycles of re-discovery of lost knowledge with every new generation of developers, which probably is not so odd considering the exponential growth of practitioners. Allegedly half of the programmers today are juniors, which means many of them have yet to...

Lean and Functional Domain Modelling

Featuring Marcello Duarte

Rich domain models, inspired by imperative objective-oriented approaches, dominate this industry. Lean and functional domain models are a compelling alternative.

Keynote: Crossing the River by Feeing the Stones

Featuring Simon Wardley

In this talk, Simon will introduce the concept of mapping a landscape, why it matters, how it can influence the type of architectural choices you should make and how do you get from here to there.

Lightning Talk: Domain Model in Multi-Language Environment with Examples from Healthcare

Featuring Mufrid Krilic

The literature and resources on DDD, or software-related in general, are mostly in English. Even the domain-specific discussions are presented in English.

Keynote: Getting to DDD: Pragmatic or Principled?

Featuring Julie Lerman

Domain-Driven Design is a vast topic. There are so many wonderful concepts, philosophies, patterns, practices and techniques to learn and benefit from. Some of the best minds in the industry have been tuning these practices for years to ensure developers are able to implement proven, successful...

Keynote: Temporal Modelling

Featuring Mathias Verraes

Distributed systems are all about time. Traditional modelling styles, focused on things and structures, are not the primary way anymore to build modern systems that handle complexity well.

Leveraging Metamodels and DCI to Build Modular Monoliths

Featuring Dan Haywood

In your typical "big-ball-of-mud" monolith, both (horizontal) layers and (vertical) subdomains become intertwined. Architectural constraints are needed to prevent this from happening. Microservices is one way to enforce those constraints, but if what you're really struggling with is...

DDD: Strategic Patterns and Microservices by Example

Featuring Erik Ashepa

As Microservices have grown in popularity in recent years and quickly became the preferred method for many developers, more and more teams are facing difficulties integrating and extending them with the high cadence promise they initially delivered.

Designing Towards Event Sourcing

Featuring Tugberk Ugurlu

Event sourcing offers you many benefits from both business and pure programming angles. As it's such a fundamental design principle, one might argue that it should be introduced early in your designs. However, this doesn't need to be the case. Especially, when you are anticipating future...

DOODLE-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT

Featuring Ciaran McNulty

Building a shared understanding between business and development can be messy. Humans scribble on whiteboards, rip up index cards, and stick things to the wall.

Modern Strategic DDD

Featuring Nick Tune

Eric Evans coined the term Strategic Domain-Driven Design referring to the application of DDD concepts at the architectural and team level. We model the business as a series of subdomains and we try to align our software system, and the teams that build them, with those subdomains by creating...
