Who is this presentation for?

  • Architects, developers, and leaders

Prerequisite knowledge

  • A working knowledge of architecting distributed systems and microservices, along with the trade-offs they entail

What you'll learn

  • Learn how to identify boundaries in the domain and use those to model modules, microservices, and team boundaries

Description

Join Nick Tune and Zsófia Herendi to learn how to model a complex system and break it down into cohesive bounded contexts. You’ll leave with skills you can immediately begin applying in your organization to improve the autonomy of your software services and the teams that build and run them.

Nick and Zsófia walk you through modeling a complex domain with event storming and then applying strategic modeling heuristics to various scenarios involving a variety of challenging business, organizational, and technical goals and constraints. Lots of curve balls will be thrown at you, as you learn how to find the best bounded contexts while facing whatever challenges you may encounter. Along the way, you’ll also explore theoretical concepts, drawing on ideas from DDD, systems thinking, promise theory, the theory of constraints, and more.

During our hands-on workshop, you will be modelling a travel domain. So if you’d like to prepare for the workshop and get the most out of the session, here’s a short homework exercise that should take 5 – 10 minutes:

1. Think of a business that provides some form of transportation service (or invent your own business): trains, planes, taxis, space ships, or similar….

2. List 3-5 of the key events in your business process. This could include: marketing, customer relationships, booking travel, the travel experiences, after sales, or something else. E.g. “customer re-booked”, “season ticket purchased”, “5 star review left”, etc.

3. List 1 – 3 core differentiators of the business. E.g. “exclusive trips to Mars” or “the fastest trains in Europe” or “the best in-journey entertainment” or “the lowest cost”, etc.

Meet you there! :)
