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.

Each store sells coffee and coffee-related accessories, as well as store-specific drinks. Stores often have individual offers, but national marketing campaigns are often run, which influence the price of an item too.

CoffeeCo recently launched a loyalty program called CoffeeBux, which allows customers to get 1 free drink for every 10 they purchase. It doesn’t matter which store they purchase a drink at or which they redeem it at.

CoffeeCo has been thinking of launching an online store. They are also considering a monthly subscription that allows purchasers to get unlimited coffee every month, as well as a discount on other drinks...
