This document provides an overview of domain-driven design (DDD). It discusses DDD as an approach to managing complex business requirements by modeling the domain and collaborating with stakeholders. Key aspects of DDD covered include bounded contexts, entities, value objects, aggregates, domain services, and the distinction between anemic and rich domain models. Common DDD patterns such as repositories, factories, and strategies are also outlined. The document concludes by noting related approaches like event-driven architecture, microservices, and the importance of clean code and testing with DDD.
