Domain-Driven Refactoring: A hands-on DDD guide to transforming monoliths into modular systems and microservices

Apply domain-driven design practices effortlessly to evolve your system into a modern, robust application while mastering refactoring techniques that drive real-world resultsKey FeaturesLearn how to modernize your system to make it as frictionless as possibleGain hands-on experience in applying strategic and tactical patterns through real-world examplesTransform your architecture with practical guidance for seamless refactoringPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookBook DescriptionAs software development continues to grow, mastering domain-driven design (DDD) will help transform your approach to complex systems. Filled with actionable insights and practical examples, this book is your essential guide to implementing DDD principles, covering its key concepts and practical applications in modern architecture.Alessandro, an eCommerce specialist and DDD expert with 30 years of experience, and Alberto, a dedicated backend developer, tap into their extensive expertise to help you refactor your monolith into a modular structure, whether it be evolving into microservices or enhancing a maintainable monolith, resulting in a system that adapts to changing business needs and non-functional requirements.You’ll explore vital DDD patterns like strategic design with bounded contexts and ubiquitous language, improving communication between technical and domain experts. The chapters take you through modeling techniques to manage complexity and increase flexibility, while also addressing microservices integration, including inter-service communication, transaction management, and data strategies.By the end of this book, you’ll be able to decompose a monolith and refine its architecture for adaptability, all while ensuring business logic remains central to your software design and development.What you will learnFind out how to recognize the boundaries of your system's componentsApply strategic patterns such as bounded contexts and ubiquitous languageMaster tactical patterns for building aggregates and entitiesDiscover principal refactoring patterns and learn how to implement themIdentify pain points in a complex code base and address themExplore event-driven architectures for component decouplingGet skilled at writing tests that validate and maintain architectural integrityWho this book is forThis book is ideal for software developers, architects, and team leads looking to modernize legacy applications using domain-driven design principles. If you're a backend developer or software engineer looking to enhance your understanding of DDD, this guide will elevate your skills in designing robust systems. Team leads and architects will find valuable insights for guiding their teams through the transition from monoliths to microservices.
