Domain-Driven Design with Golang

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.

Applying Domain-Driven Design to a Monolithic Application

In the first part of this book, we learned about the theory behind domain-driven design (DDD) and looked at isolated examples of how we might implement each idea or pattern. In Part 2 of this book, we are going to build real-world applications together that will help cement the ideas and give you example projects to reference in the future.

We will start by building a domain-driven monolithic application (after defining what a monolithic application is) from scratch. We will then discuss how you might apply DDD principles to an existing application that was not created using DDD from the beginning.

By the end of the chapter, you will be able to understand the following topics:

  • What a monolithic application is, as well as in what situation you may want to build one
  • How to build an entire domain-driven monolith from scratch
  • How to identify that your existing application might benefit from applying domain...
