Explore DDD 2018 – Denver, Sept. 11-14

In this talk, Trevor presents the challenges his organization faced as they sought to decompose and refactor a mature monolith according to DDD principles. These challenges span the gamut including infrastructure, organization, developer maturity, and management. Ultimately, they were not successful and he believes their story can provide concrete warning signs for others who may seek to undertake such an effort enthusiastically but perhaps naively, especially within huge organizations.
