This document discusses domain-driven design (DDD) as an approach to tackling complexity in software development. DDD focuses on mapping business domain concepts directly into code in order to create software that reflects the business domain rather than frameworks. This is achieved through building a domain model using techniques such as defining entities, value objects, aggregates, repositories, factories and services to encapsulate business logic within the domain layer. Context mapping is also discussed as a way to delineate different bounded contexts and model variations between them.
