Strategic Domain-Driven Design for Improving Flutter architecture

By Majid Hajian

Strategic Domain-Driven Design for Improving Flutter architecture

Architecting software, especially on a large-scale where it needs to meet the business requirements is always a challenge and Flutter apps are not an exception. Strategic Domain-Driven Design techniques ensure your application is optimized to support business goals while identifying cohesive modules, known as bounded context which creates a maintainable, comprehensible codebase by isolating dependencies and describe business value. In this talk, I explorer the idea of the ubiquitous language, the bounded context, sub-domains while they are being implemented in a real application. All in all, You'll learn how I attempted to architect a (large-scale) Flutter application by technical solution and appropriate methodology in order to have a sustainable app.
