On “If Discord, Reddit, Twitter, and Uber Don’t Use DDD, How Are Their Designs So Solid? Do I Really Need to Learn DDD?”

I’m going to cover an overall assumption in your question. Some people have already covered this but if you watch tech talks or conferences. I just saw one from a principal engineer at DoorDash (link to this video about how microservices and have so many different services and cause havoc. These companies have high engineering spend because most times things aren’t going well. Dealing with tech debt and at that scale there isn’t one architecture that just works assuming the product is changing with the world. Your architecture has to change with the world. DDD tends to be hard to implement at scale because of one simple human aspect. It isn’t taught in schools and that means everyone needs to read the…
