Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

– When to use
3. Cloud : a definition
• The NIST definition runs to several hundred words but
essentially says that:
– Cloud Computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-
demand network access to a shared pool of configurable
computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage,
applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and
released with minimal management effort or service provider
interaction.
• What this means in plain terms is the ability for end users to
utilize parts of bulk resources and that these resources can
be acquired quickly and easily.
http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/SNS/cloud-computing/
4. Cloud : an other definition
• Dave Nielsen, one of the founders of the CloudCamp series
of conferences, has this definition OSSM (pronounced
“awesome”). This simple concept stands for the following;
– On-demand: the infrastructure or hardware is already setup and
ready to be deployed
– Self-service: the customer chooses what they want, when they want
it
– Scalable: customers can choose how much they want and ramp up if
necessary
– Measureable: there’s metering/reporting so you know you are
getting what you pay for
6. Cloud delivery model
• Public Cloud
– Public Cloud is considered infrastructure that consists of shared resources,
deployed on a self-service basis over the Internet. The benefit of Public
Cloud are : the highest levels of efficiency as Public Cloud pools a huge
number of users and almost limitless scaling capabilities.
• Private Cloud
– Private Cloud is infrastructure that emulates Cloud Computing but does so
on a private network. The hardware is dedicated to the organisation own use
and there is no sharing of infrastructure between users.
• Virtual Private Cloud
– Virtual Private Clouds are created when Public Cloud vendors fence a part of
their own Cloud infrastructure to provide specifically for a single customer.
• Hybrid Cloud
– Hybrid cloud is a composition of two or more clouds (private or public) that
remain unique entities but are bound together, offering the benefits of
multiple deployment models
7. Definition of Public Cloud
• Public Cloud demonstrates all of the characteristics of a Cloud but more
importantly does so in a way that renders the service available to the
general public or a large industry group. Secondarily with the Public
Cloud the service itself is owned by an organization selling Cloud
services.
8. Benefits of a Public Cloud
• Cost Savings – Public Cloud is in most cases less expensive (from a Total
Cost of Ownership (TCO) perspective) than traditional on-premise
computing and will often be cheaper than Private Cloud or Hybrid Cloud
• Low, or no, Upfront Costs – Public Cloud should require no capital outlay
• Reduced Infrastructure Footprint – Since the Public Cloud is located on
the vendor’s property, there is no physical infrastructure footprint for
Public Cloud customers
• Increased Flexibility – Public Cloud gives high degrees of flexibility which
allows capacity to be closely mapped to demand
• Software that can be Decoupled from Infrastructure Constraints – by
moving to the Public Cloud, organizations can scale software without
concerns about related infrastructure needs
• Capacity Planning – Public Cloud results in virtually unlimited capacity as
and when an organization needs it
9. Definition of Private Cloud
• Private Cloud takes many of the design cues from Public Cloud, but
delivers IT resources in a way that the infrastructure or software is
operated solely for an individual organization on dedicated hardware.
Essentially, Private Cloud is a dedicated server or group of servers
running multiple instances of virtual machines with the ability to scale up
or down as demand changes.

Off-premise, managed by a third part
11. Benefits of a Private Cloud
• Reduce costs
• Potentially entail low, or no, upfront costs
• Lead to a reduced Infrastructure footprint with some approaches
• Drive increased flexibility around IT
• Decouple the delivery of software from the provision of infrastructure
• Increase utilization rates by consolidating servers
• Help simplify or reduce the need for capacity planning
• Solve issues for organizations whose legislative or regulatory requirements
demand a physical or logical separation from the data of other organizations
• Solve issues for organizations with existing infrastructure that they wish to
continue using, but with increased efficiencies
• Provide the benefits of Cloud Computing for organizations that have specific
requirements in terms of a technology stack (e.g. a particular operating system or
hypervisor not available from a Public Cloud provider)
• Can reduce the risks associated with vendor lock in
12. Definition of Hybrid Cloud
• Hybrid Cloud, as the name
implies, is any pairing of
Public Cloud with any other
IT infrastructure. In other
words, Hybrid Cloud refers to
Public Cloud mixed with
dedicated in-house servers,
servers hosted at a service
provider, or even Cloud-
based servers either (Public
or Private) at one or more
Cloud providers.
13. The configuration of Hybrid Cloud
Cloud/Dedicated Hybrid – A combination
of dedicated hardware (customer or
provider) and a Public Cloud
Private/Public Hybrid - A customers
hardware in a Private Cloud and linked to
a Public Cloud
Virtual Private/Public Hybrid - Public
Cloud and Virtual Private Cloud
Others combination
14. Benefits of a Hybrid Cloud
• Flexibility – It gives an organization the ability to retain
specific parts of their IT infrastructure while moving some
aspects (archiving or disaster recover, for example) to the
Cloud. Hybrid essentially adds flexibility onto existing
infrastructure.
• Maximizing ROI on Existing Infrastructure – Hybrid allows
organizations to continue to utilize their existing
infrastructure while moving excess workloads or specific
parts of their operation to the Cloud.
• Compliance – A hybrid approach acknowledges the fact
that some organizations in particular industries wish to
retain particular workloads on-premise or on dedicated
infrastructure.

16. When to use a Hybrid Cloud
• Where the organization has legacy applications that do not make sense
to move to the Cloud
• Where compliance requirements create a demarcation between what
can be stored on the Public Cloud and what must remain on dedicated
servers
• Where peaks in traffic (after specific marketing campaigns for an
example) demand that traffic be “burst” to the Cloud
• Where the cost of having backups on-premise for disaster recovery is
• prohibitive
• Where web applications require high database performance but need to
scale via the Cloud for web serving
• Where organizations wish to prototype applications cheaply before
deploying them on in-house infrastructure
• Where avoiding vendor lock-in is a primary concern
