domain-modeling

Event storming is a collaborative workshop process used to discover domain events, commands, and actors. It helps teams model complex business domains by mapping behaviors and producing artifacts that define bounded contexts and aggregate boundaries.

Avoid the anemic domain model anti-pattern by implementing business rules within aggregates and using value object patterns. Applying quality gates ensures invariants are enforced and reduces primitive obsession by replacing basic types with rich domain concepts.

Yes, you can use domain events and value objects during cross-team discovery sessions to enforce invariants. The process yields event storming artifacts and quality gates that ensure business rules are implemented where they belong across shared contexts.

The best way to map aggregates and commands for new module design is running an event storming analysis on the target domain. This specifies aggregate responsibilities, defines transactional boundaries, and produces value object recommendations.

You should reconsider using aggregate boundaries for service decomposition when business rules are simple or lack complex invariants. Forcing bounded contexts in these cases can introduce unnecessary integration events and overcomplicate cross-team coordination.
