# Domain-driven design specialists for your dedicated team.

Domain-driven design puts the business domain at the centre of the model: shared vocabulary between developers and domain experts, clear boundaries between subdomains, and code whose structure reflects the business.

## Where Domain-driven design fits in a long-term product team.

The durable parts of DDD are the cheapest to adopt. A shared vocabulary where the code uses the same word as the business, and explicit boundaries where one subdomain ends and another begins, deliver most of the value. The tactical patterns are useful in the complex core and mostly ceremony everywhere else.

The common failure is applying the full pattern set uniformly across a system where only one area is complex. Aggregates and repositories around simple CRUD produce ceremony without benefit, and it discredits the approach with the team. DDD is a way of deciding where to spend modelling effort, not an instruction to spend it evenly.

## What your dedicated team does with Domain-driven design.

DDD depends on continuous contact between the people writing the code and the people who understand the domain. That relationship is built over quarters, and it is the first thing lost when people rotate: the vocabulary survives in the code while the understanding behind it goes.

Developers staying on one domain long enough to debate it with an expert is what makes this work, and it is the case for a [dedicated software development team](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-software-development-team/).

## Common Domain-driven design use cases.

* Complex rules that exist only in people's heads Domain logic captured in a model that experts can read, instead of scattered through controllers and jobs.
* Deciding where to split a monolith Bounded contexts used to find seams that follow the business.
* Vocabulary that survives handover Code using the same terms as the business, so a new team member learns one language.
