Domain-driven design (DDD) is a software design approach focusing on modelling software to match a domain according to input from that domain's experts.

Domain-driven design is predicated on the following goals:

  • placing the project's primary focus on the core domain and domain logic
  • basing complex designs on a model of the domain
  • initiating a creative collaboration between technical and domain experts to iteratively refine a conceptual model that addresses particular domain problems.
