Preventing Emu Wars with Domain-Driven Design
Australia's doomed “Emu War” serves as a funny - yet oddly accurate - analogy for how we spend a lot of time (and money) solving the wrong problems. Often, critical missteps at the very beginning of projects lead to an inevitable avalanche of code, complexity and more than a few bugs.
But how can we ensure that we’re solving the right problems? Techniques such as applying the 5 Whys, Event Storming and the building of a Ubiquitous Language come together to point us in the right direction.
To demonstrate, we’ll explore the Emu War as if it was a coding problem and then contrast it to a more realistic e-commerce case study. As many of the same modelling smells intensify, we’ll bring in grounded Domain-Driven Design practices - each one enabling us to move from a world of bugs and complexity to a far more maintainable and extensible solution.
It’s the perfect talk to help you get started (or fall back in love) with Domain-Driven Design.
