Bounded Context and Subdomains

In a previous blog, I discussed how I recently discovered through eventual consistency that I had poor business alignment.  With more thoughts and insights, I wanted to extend that post by discussion bounded contexts and how they fit within subdomains. 1 to 1? I’ve often thought of a bounded context as being a one-to-one relationship with a subdomain.   To take that further, you may get the impression that they are indeed the same thing.  When I was first introduced to the concept many years ago, I was under the impression that they mapped directly one to one. I’m not entirely… Read More »Bounded Context and Subdomains

Eventual Consistency and Business Alignment

I recently discovered through eventual consistency that my bounded contexts were not properly aligned with the business.   I won’t lie, it took me quite a while to make this realization. This was most likely the case in many situations I’ve had in the past.  Because of this realization, I wanted to let out some of my thoughts about eventual consistency and business alignment. Dependent Bounded Context I’ve often encounter situations where a bounded context requires information that another bounded context is responsible for.  I’d like to use a simple example I’ve heard from Udi Dahan.  In the context of an Ecommerce site.

My F# Journey – F# Learning Resources

Thinking about learning functional programming with F#?  Here is a list of F# learning resources that will help you on your own F# journey. Robert C. Martin – Functional Programming: What? Why? When? Why is functional programming becoming such a hot topic? Just what is functional programming anyway? And when am I going to have to know about it? In this talk Uncle Bob will walk you through the rationale that is driving the current push towards functional programming. He’ll also introduce you to the basics by walking through some simple Clojure code. F# Software Foundation http://fsharp.org/ A wealth of… Read More »My F# Journey – F# Learning Resources
