DDD ≠ RAD

Domain-Driven Design is not a fast way to build software.

Layers and dependency rule

Hexagonal architecture

Domain

Models, Value objects, Events, Repositories 

Application

Use cases, Application services, DTOs, Commands, Queries

Infrastructure

Controllers, Databases, Caches, Vendors

Benefits

Hexagonal architecture

Domain integrity is preserved

Code is more testable

Technological decisions can be deferred

Domain is agnostic to the outside world

GET /books

Reading is dreaming with open eyes...

GET /books/cheapests
PATCH /books/{id}
DELETE /books/{id}
POST /books/anonymize
POST /books/{id}/discount
