Challenges of Domain-Driven Microservice Design: A Model-Driven Perspective

Domain-driven design (DDD) is a model-driven methodology to capture relevant domain knowledge for software design. It provides the means to isolate domain concepts and identify concept relationships. This makes DDD particularly appropriate for designing microservice architectures, because functional microservices focus on realizing distinct business capabilities. This article explores the challenges of domain-driven microservice design and presents ways to cope with them based on model-driven development.
