How Domain‑Driven Design Shapes Microservice Boundaries and Communication

This article explores how microservice architecture, guided by Domain‑Driven Design principles such as bounded contexts, aggregates, and context mapping, defines service boundaries, improves autonomy, and influences communication patterns, including event‑driven integration, synchronous APIs, and BFF strategies, while addressing consistency, scalability, and deployment challenges.
