n. Abbreviation for Domain-Driven Design. A software development methodology that prioritizes the core business logic and its complexities, ensuring the software's architecture reflects the underlying business domain.
Our team uses DDD to manage the complex rules of our banking software.
By adopting DDD, the developers were able to create a shared language with the business experts, reducing misunderstandings during the coding phase.
The implementation of DDD within the microservices architecture allowed for clearer boundaries between different business capabilities, though it required significant initial investment in modeling the domain.
Primarily used in the context of software engineering and systems architecture.
