Identifying and modeling the Domain layer using DDD
In Chapter 1, we emphasized the critical importance of the Entity layer in Clean Architecture. This layer forms the heart of your software, encapsulating the core business logic and rules. DDD provides a systematic approach to effectively model this crucial component.
DDD offers tools and techniques to identify, model, and implement the essential components of our Entity layer, bridging the gap between business realities and software design. By applying DDD principles within our Clean Architecture framework, we create a domain model that not only accurately reflects business needs but also serves as a solid foundation for a flexible, maintainable software system.
Key benefits of integrating DDD with Clean Architecture include the following:
- Alignment with business needs
- Improved communication between developers and domain experts
- Enhanced flexibility and maintainability
- Natural scalability through...
