Domain-Driven Architecture
Where business intent becomes system structure.
Discover a new, evolutionary approach to software architecture that derives structure directly from quality attributes.
A New Book by Stefan Priebsch
Architecture is often shaped early on by technological choices. Frameworks are selected, platforms fixed, diagrams drawn, long before anyone really understands what the system is supposed to achieve, what it will cost, or how it must evolve over time.
What if we reversed that process?
This book starts where architecture actually belongs: with the domain, the business intent, and the constraints that matter. Only then does it move toward structure, boundaries, and eventually technology.
Domain-Driven Architecture turns decades of architectural intuition into a clear, teachable, and economically grounded process for building sustainable software systems. Systems that can grow. System that can change. Systems that survive reality.
It treats architecture not as a single system, but as a landscape of interacting systems. Not as a fixed blueprint, but as a series of deliberate decisions made over time. And not as an exercise of authority, but as a collaborative, shared discipline, one that evolves through dialogue, feedback, and collective understanding.
This book is written for you if you know that passing reviews and following best practices does not guarantee systems that actually work in the real world.
About the Author
Stefan Priebsch helps leaders ensure their software systems fuel growth, execution, and strategic decision-making, rather than becoming sources of risk, friction, or inertia. With decades of experience working on large-scale, complex systems, Stefan bridges technology and strategy. His work spans authoring multiple books, delivering international keynotes and conference talks, and lecturing at universities, all centered on designing architectures that are scalable, reliable, and explicitly aligned with business intent.
Good architecture encodes business intent. Domain-driven architecture is how strategy becomes executable.
