Applying DDD concepts in real codebases without over-modeling or process overhead.
Model where complexity lives
You do not need aggregate roots for every table. Use rich models only where business rules are volatile and mistakes are expensive.
Keep language aligned
If product says "workspace member" and your code says "teamUser", drift has already started. Shared vocabulary cuts onboarding time and avoids subtle defects.
Pair workflows with invariants
For every user workflow, document what must always be true. Then encode those invariants in service methods and integration tests.
