Announcing "Domain-Driven Architecture"

Last updated 24th February 2026

I’m working on a new book titled Domain-Driven Architecture.

Architectures are often determined very early, by frameworks, patterns, or deployment models, long before the real nature of a system is understood. Once those choices are made, much of what follows is simply adaptation.

This book explores a different starting point. What if architectural structure were derived first and foremost from a system’s quality attributes? What if non-functional requirements were not constraints applied afterward, but the primary drivers of architectural decisions?

Domain-Driven Architecture builds on ideas from Domain-Driven Design, but shifts the focus from modelling to architecture itself. The goal is to make architectural decisions explicit, intentional, and grounded in what the system actually needs to achieve.
