Converting a Monolithic App to a more Domain-Driven Design

Implementing a system using domain-driven design seems “straight-forward” when looking at a brand new system. Changing an existing enterprise system, especially one built in the monolithic approach that was common a few years ago, can be daunting. In this workshop we will take a hands-on approach to working through the steps necessary to refactor a non-DDD monolithic application using "traditional" DDD approaches.

    As part of this workshop you will convert a simplified monolithic web application to a system running in a more domain-driven approach. Generally, in each section we will talk about various patterns and implementation strategies, you will have some time to do some implementation yourself in code, and then we will review an example where the conversion has already been completed. As we go through each area there will be some discussion of tips and tricks and perhaps some horror stories about where it has gone completely wrong.

    The various areas we will cover:

    1) Strategies for getting started
    2) Defining domains when working within a monolithic system
    3) Evaluating current unit and integration tests for ability to support refactoring efforts
    4) Implementing micro-services over a monolothic back-end
    5) Converting historical-data access patterns to CQRS
    6) Splitting, segmenting, and changing the business layer to stay within the domain
    7) Communicating between domains with events and messaging
    8) Dev-Ops considerations in a DDD world
