DDD Foundation

Software developers, architects, and tech leads who are ready to stop fighting their codebase and start designing systems that actually reflect the business they serve — whether they're untangling a legacy system or trying to build the next one right from the start.

The value of this training

Over the program, participants move from why DDD matters to how to actually apply it, step by step.

  • We start with the real challenges behind failed and struggling software projects, and show concretely how DDD closes the gap between business intent and software architecture.
  • Real answers for real legacy systems. Most teams aren't starting green field. We tackle legacy software head-on: proven update strategies, how to recognize (and escape) a Big Ball of Mud, and how application architecture decisions compound over time.
  • Strategic DDD. Participants learn to build a domain model collaboratively, not in isolation using EventStorming at every level. Big Picture and Domain Charting to map the whole business, Design-Level for creating a foundation for building the software. You'll walk away knowing how to define and refactor Bounded Contexts, and how to turn a room full of differing opinions into collective, lasting learning.
  • Tactical DDD. From model to a predictable codebase. We cover the tactical patterns that make domain models real in software: aggregates, domain services, domain repositories, and how they fit together in clean, maintainable code.
  • A complete working Example Domain. From domain model, to code, to actual deployment. Participants see the entire journey, not just fragments of it.
  • We spend real time on the trade-offs that define good architecture decisions — like loose coupling versus data propagation — so participants leave with judgment, not just patterns.
  • Event Sourcing. The training closes with a brief, practical introduction to Event Sourcing and a worked example, giving participants a taste of where their DDD skills can take them next.
