The following persons have had a lot of influence on what this repository describes:

Alberto Brandolini

Creator of Event Storming, a collaborative workshop technique used to explore and model complex business processes through domain events. His approach helps teams rapidly gain insights into business domains by focusing on key events that drive processes.

Eric Evans

Known for pioneering Domain-Driven Design (DDD), a software development philosophy that emphasizes aligning the software model closely with the business domain. His work focuses on creating a shared understanding between technical teams and domain experts to ensure the software reflects real-world complexity.

Gregory Young

Renowned for developing and promoting Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) and Event Sourcing. His work centers on separating read and write operations in systems, improving scalability, and using event sourcing to maintain the history of all changes in a system, offering resilience and insights into past system states.

Robert C. Martin

Author of Clean Architecture and a key figure in the promotion of software craftsmanship. His principles focus on building flexible, maintainable, and scalable systems by adhering to the separation of concerns and reducing dependencies between different layers of the system. Martin advocates for architecture that allows software to evolve over time, ensuring it remains easy to understand, extend, and refactor, even as requirements change. His work is centered on creating systems that prioritize independence from frameworks, databases, and UI, ensuring longevity and adaptability in software design.

The Trigger that Led to This

The trigger that led to the creation of this page came from a LinkedIn post by Allard Buijze.
The post was about aggregates and their necessity. I studied the post and ended up watching Sara Pellegrini's and Milan Savic's talk: The Aggregate is dead. Long live the Aggregate!. After overcoming my cognitive dissonance, I needed to try out the new ideas by drawing them with Excalidraw, which led to new ideas that I have collected in this repository.

Thanks for triggering the ideas!
