Hands-On Domain-Driven Design with .NET Core

By: Alexey Zimarev

Overview of this book

Developers across the world are rapidly adopting DDD principles to deliver powerful results when writing software that deals with complex business requirements. This book will guide you in involving business stakeholders when choosing the software you are planning to build for them. By figuring out the temporal nature of behavior-driven domain models, you will be able to build leaner, more agile, and modular systems. You’ll begin by uncovering domain complexity and learn how to capture the behavioral aspects of the domain language. You will then learn about EventStorming and advance to creating a new project in .NET Core 2.1; you’ll also and write some code to transfer your events from sticky notes to C#. The book will show you how to use aggregates to handle commands and produce events. As you progress, you’ll get to grips with Bounded Contexts, Context Map, Event Sourcing, and CQRS. After translating domain models into executable C# code, you will create a frontend for your application using Vue.js. In addition to this, you’ll learn how to refactor your code and cover event versioning and migration essentials. By the end of this DDD book, you will have gained the confidence to implement the DDD approach in your organization and be able to explore new techniques that complement what you’ve learned from the book.

Persistent storage

By now, we already have a few projections that build some useful read models that we can potentially use for the UI of our application. However, these read models aren't persistent and when we stop the app, everything disappears. Of course, read models are quickly rebuilt when we start the app again, and although it is a perfectly fine way to build read models at the beginning of the development cycle, this won't work for a production system. In addition, if we use upcasting, we will emit up cast events each time the app starts, since the upcasting subscription will process all events again. So, it is now time to persist our read models to a database.

Checkpoints

As we have seen before, our application...
