Explore DDD 2019 – Denver, Sept. 16-20

Domain-Driven Design techniques and principles give us guidance on how to model and build software. The challenge is how to apply them when replacing systems that already exist.

It turns out that strategic patterns can help you learn about existing solutions and reasons why change is needed. The tactical ones can be applied to build software that will make the implementation of new capabilities possible. It all sounds good in theory, but how do we do it in practice?

Kacper takes us on a journey during which he reflects on his experience with replacing a complex loyalty system and challenges the project faced. He shares his thoughts on what worked, what could have been done differently, and what caused problems. You will learn how to make the best use of Domain Experts and see why consistency is a business problem. He also tries to answer if it's possible to stay sane in the Microservice world and discusses challenges that arise when trying to migrate from CRUD persistence to Event Sourcing.
