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.

Building a Microservice Using DDD

In the previous chapter, we discussed how to build a monolithic application using domain-driven design (DDD). As your organization and code base scale, you may consider migrating to a microservice-based approach for development. To do this well, we need to use some DDD concepts we saw in the last chapter, but also some we did not. We know we are going to need to communicate with other microservices, and therefore we will be revisiting the anti-corruption layers, as well as ports and adaptors, that we learned about in Chapter 2, Ubiquitous Language Bounded Contexts, Domains, and Sub-Domains.

In this chapter, we will do the following:

  • Learn what a microservice is, and how it differs from a monolithic application
  • Learn at a high level when you and your company may benefit from considering a microservice-based architecture
  • Build another service from scratch, using the ports and adaptor pattern, as well as the anti-corruption layer pattern...
