Domain Storytelling Workshop

DDD Europe 2023
  • Workshop mit Henning Schwentner und Dr. Stefan Hofer
Domain storytelling means that we let domain experts tell us stories about their tasks. While we listen, we record the stories in a pictorial language. The domain experts can immediately see whether we understand their story or not. After only a few stories, we are able to talk about the people, tasks, tools, work objects and events in the field.

Seven Pitfalls in Strategic Design (Part 2)

Strategic design is the part of domain-driven design that provides the decomposition of the domain into bounded contexts. In many software projects, this results in the concrete decomposition of a software system into modules or deployment units.  Strategic design is therefore momentous, and at the same time it is difficult  .

In this episode, together with lawyer Ralf Burmester, we look at the announced new "Privacy Shield 2.0" agreement between the EU and the US. In a sense, it is an "update" of the Computing Time Episode 9 from January 2022.

With the advent of microservices, the monolith has developed an image problem.  A monolith with attractive inner values, the well-structured Modulith, is stepping up to save the honour of the mon  olith.

Software wear versus technical debt

Focus on software erosion
During software development, there inevitably comes a time when the architecture of a software starts to erode. This process usually creeps in secretly and only when a critical mass is reached or exceeded do we as software developers consciously notice the problem. Carola Lilienthal attributes the causes of software erosion to the following four phenomena [1]: The "anyone can program" phenomenon Arc…
