IAnticorruption – A Domain-Driven Design Approach To More Robust Integration
by Sam Peng and Ying Hu
Custom House's new currency exchange system is integrated with a legacy system. After a few years of growth, the two systems were so intricately tangled that even small changes made in the integration layer would have unpredictable side effects. Refactoring on the integration layer was risky and time consuming. The situation called for a revolutionary redesign.
Take a look at how they have created a full-fledged anticorruption layer here.
Identity Crisis
by Vladimir GitlevichWe tend to think of the identity of objects as a simple, even technical thing, but the identity of domain entities are an important part of a model, and in a complex domain they can be subtle concepts in their own right. Read this interesting story of such a discovery.
So We Thought We Knew Money
by Ying Hu and Sam Peng
Results of making key value objects explicit.
At Custom House, a team developing on-line currency exchange products modeled a handful of key value objects at the heart of their domain. Read how they discovered them, how they retrofitted a large existing code-base, and the effects on the system as it has evolved over time. Or watch Ying's presentation on OOPSLA 2007.
