Overview of this book

Domain-driven design (DDD) is one of the most sought-after skills in the industry. This book provides you with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts and practical examples that will see you introducing DDD in your Go projects in no time. Domain-Driven Design with Golang starts by helping you gain a basic understanding of DDD, and then covers all the important patterns, such as bounded context, ubiquitous language, and aggregates. The latter half of the book deals with the real-world implementation of DDD patterns and teaches you how to build two systems while applying DDD principles, which will be a valuable addition to your portfolio. Finally, you’ll find out how to build a microservice, along with learning how DDD-based microservices can be part of a greater distributed system. Although the focus of this book is Golang, by the end of this book you’ll be able to confidently use DDD patterns outside of Go and apply them to other languages and even distributed systems.

In the Setting the scene section, we highlighted interesting words that the experts used in your conversation. That language has a specific meaning in your team that might not hold for other companies or teams. For example, what is referred to as a customer in your team might mean something slightly different to the marketing team.

The highlighted words are your team’s ubiquitous language. It is a shared language, unique and specific to your team. Whenever your team talks about a customer or a lost lead, there should be no confusion about what this means. It is often helpful to keep a glossary of terms in your team’s wiki or documentation that is reviewed regularly. Although domain experts are fundamental to definitions, engineers must challenge...
