The Art of Discovering Bounded Contexts by Nick Tune

Bounded contexts are a cherished member of the microservices family, but they mean lots of different things to lots of different people. So what actually are they? How do you find them? How do you design microservices around them? In this talk you’ll learn about advanced domain-driven design techniques for finding bounded contexts, designing microservices and improving the alignment of your whole organisation.

Instead of naively chopping up a system into arbitrary small pieces and calling them ‘microservices that implement bounded contexts’, or merely thinking cross-functional teams will suffice, deeper, more nuanced design skills are needed. All domains are different- there is no flowchart that guides teams into knowing exactly how to break up a large system into smaller pieces that minimise the costs of handovers and shared dependencies.

Strategic domain-driven design introduced the concept of subdomains; things that change together for business reasons. Accordingly, teams that own things that change together for business reasons will own more decision making and have more autonomy. You will learn how DDD heuristics and Theory of Constraints help you to create maximum autonomy.
