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.

Technical requirements

The code for this chapter can be found in the Chapter08 folder of the book repository on GitHub. There are three subfolders there. One is called before, and the code there can be used to follow the course of this chapter as it goes further with the persistence implementation. Two other folders, ravendb and ef-core, contain the final code that implements the aggregate persistence using the RavenDB document database and the Entity Framework Core and PostgreSQL.

You will need to use docker-compose to run the infrastructure. This implies that you need to have Docker installed, as well. Follow the Docker CE installation guidelines at https://docs.docker.com/install/ and the Docker Compose installation guidelines at https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/.

If you have not run Docker on your machine before, or if you did it a while ago, you might need to log...
