Designing a software system is difficult. Understanding the context in which a software system lives is more difficult. To understand that context, developers need to communicate with the business. Gien will give tips on how to facilitate design decisions jax.de/software-archi…

Join our EventStorming workshop and learn about exploring a complex domain, gathering user stories, finding examples and acceptance tests, all with a distributed team: buff.ly/3sZ4SfR

At Shopify, we rolled out a DDD training program across their organisation. Domain-Driven Design enabled Engineering and Product to understand one another better. Read our case study buff.ly/3Wjkbei

What's the most misunderstood concept of Domain-Driven Design? A fair suggestion might be aggregates. On stage at KanDDDinsky next week, Gien and Thomas Coopman will dissect the topic and help you understand why and when to use them. buff.ly/3LR2HRU

⏳ Only 10 days left: Blind Bird tickets for Domain-Driven Design Europe, Data Mesh Live and EventCentric are available until end of October 2024. We'll be in Antwerp, Belgium on June 2-6, 2025 with talks, labs, workshops,... Don't miss it! buff.ly/3Rr8CjX

Les heuristiques de design vous aident à concevoir une architecture faiblement couplée. Dans cette formation, découvrez comment utiliser les heuristiques comme un outil qui vous guidera pour identifier vos Bounded Context. buff.ly/45WqhoE

This. Your job is not to write working code, your job is to design a working system.

Domain-Driven Design is... DDD has a reputation as academic and philosophical but quite the opposite; it is a pragmatic discipline. It recognises that design effort is a limited resource that should be deployed appropriately. More on our blog buff.ly/4aKx3Ai

Understanding the core concepts of DDD can seem simple, but successfully implementing them into a legacy software system can prove difficult. Read our case study of our work with Shopify buff.ly/3Wjkbei

Models are imperfect and incomplete. Some days the Earth rotates a little quicker, some days a little slower, but we all agree it's 24 hours. Read more of Stijn Vannieuwenhuyse's thoughts on what time teaches us about models in this blog post buff.ly/3Zk5IlQ

Catch Gien Verschatse (Gien) on stage at JAX Germany in Munich next week! Gien will introduce collaborative modelling and its social dynamic challenges. buff.ly/3WLpbdm

At some point, a software system is no longer fit for purpose. That's what Billie recognised when they were rapidly growing. The models that had served them well as a start-up were starting to be unstable. Read the case study about our work together. buff.ly/3SiPEMP

"Domain-Driven Design is somewhat radical" We worked with Billie to help stabilise and evolve their critical software systems. We introduced DDD to reduce costly misunderstandings and catch mistakes earlier. Read the case study buff.ly/3SiPEMP

Big congratulations to our senior consultant Gien on the release of her book on collaborative software design.

What is an Event? In this video Jennifer Carlston explores what an Event is, what they are made of and why. youtu.be/EOoy6jJXVB0

Our consultant Gien Verschatse was on the GOTO book club discussing her book "Collaborative Software Design" with her co-authors Kenny Baas-Schwegler and Evelyn van Kelle, hosted by Xin Yao. buff.ly/49CQFXx

In any team, a shared social language will develop that works for them. But the language needs to be precise and unambiguous when we get to the system design. In this new post, we explore why a ubiquitous language is needed and how to implement one. buff.ly/40nu3XX

Exactly how formal should a ubiquitous language be? 1. Formality varies by context: startups might just need a quick chat to align on terms 2. Keep formal language one level above daily terms 3. As the domain evolves, update language across code + docs buff.ly/40nu3XX

On Friday the Aardling team gathered on the outskirts of Brussels for our quarterly team outing, excellently organised by Ilse! There are lots of exciting things coming up in 2025. We hope to see you on the road this year!
