To design clean architecture boundaries for a new service, outline a bounded context and sketch the domain model, use-case interactions, and scalable layering to enforce separation of concerns.

Domain-driven design decomposition is structuring software around bounded contexts and domain models. You need it when building complex services requiring strict separation of concerns and maintainable, testable components.

Enforce separation of concerns and code quality in software architecture by applying principle-based design rules, documenting naming conventions, and structuring scalable layering across services for refactorability.

Common anti-patterns in clean architecture and domain-driven design include breaking layering rules, poor error handling, and unclear interface definitions, which reduce code testability and maintainability.

Yes, you can use this approach for architecture planning on existing services by applying principle-based design decisions, refactoring towards clear interface definitions, and enforcing testable component boundaries.

Architecture decomposition fails when scaling services if bounded contexts are poorly defined, layering boundaries are broken, or separation of concerns is ignored, leading to untestable and unmaintainable code.
