The Road to a Distributed Application, or the Pitfalls of CQRS/DDD
summary
The talk examines using Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and CQRS to build distributed (micro)service architectures, describing how duplicating data and splitting systems by bounded contexts supports large-scale development. It details common pitfalls—slow progress, costly service management, and cross-system feature delivery—and offers guidance on what mistakes lead there, how to avoid them, and how to recover if those mistakes have already been made.
