V3 DDD Architecture

To decompose a monolithic orchestrator into bounded contexts using Domain-Driven Design, you must define clear domain boundaries, coordinate via domain events, and wire contexts through a plugin-enabled kernel.

A microkernel architecture separates core logic into a minimal kernel with intercoupled plugins for extensibility. It is needed during domain decomposition to integrate bounded contexts and cross-cutting concerns without coupling.

You wire bounded contexts together after splitting a monolithic orchestrator by using event-driven coordination and a microkernel plugin system to connect domains like task-management, session-management, and health-monitoring.

Yes, the microkernel approach requires event-driven coordination for task and session management to ensure clean architecture adherence and properly separate concerns across distinct bounded contexts.

A limitation of using DDD for monolithic orchestrator refactoring is the requirement for strictly clear domain boundaries upfront; without them, intercoupled plugins and domain events cannot effectively reduce complexity.
