Chapter 6. An Architectural Taste

This chapter will focus on bringing forward an alternative to what I would like to refer to as "the default architecture". By this, I mean the classical N-tier architecture with higher focus on data going back and forth from a database mapped through N number of indirections and to a client and then back again. There is nothing inherently wrong or bad with this approach, and it's not an approach that needs to go away, which is being replaced with what this chapter is about. Consider the things in this chapter as another tool in your toolbox.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

Briefly discuss Domain Driven Design
Discuss Command Query Responsibility Segregation
Discuss Event Sourcing
Show how Bifrost applies the concepts discussed twofold
