Strategic Domain-Driven Refactorings

Many legacy systems suffer from: model anemia, being a big ball of mud, or bad team organization. Most of them suffer from a combination of these diseases. Domain-Driven Design can help transform such systems into a healthier state. From my (and others) practice I started to collect a catalog of refactorings towards DDD at https://hschwentner.io/domain-driven-refactorings/. The catalog is split into four categories:

• Strategic Refactorings: Help with splitting a monolith architecture into bounded contexts.
• Socio-technical Refactorings: Reorganize the teams. This is often enabled by and/or accompanying strategic refactorings.
• Tactical Refactorings Against Model Anemia: Change the inner implementation of a bounded context.
• Tactical Refactorings Against BBOM: support the strategic refactorings on a tactical level.

In this session I would like to focus on the parts of the catalog that help with transforming your monolith: strategic refactorings and tactical refactorings that support them.
