About the Book
How do we reconcile the grand success of decades-old legacy systems, with the fact that they have become tangled and brittle, and are inherently CPU-core hogs that operate at an embarrassingly sedate pace, with transactional throughput per second in the teens and lower? The pain points jump out at teams when the rate of change to the source code becomes slower than the throughput. Quite literally, releases are reduced to a sluggish one or two per year. Teams become confused, both by a sense of loyalty that impels them to defend against change, and the clear indications that potential survival of their precious code is less than unlikely. Even worse, none of the aforementioned perils acknowledge that strategic direction is nearly impossible when software changes are throttled to near zero. Where do teams go from here? There is a viable escape from the quicksand-like big balls of mud to which these systems have arrived. Reactive Domain-Driven Design offers mobility and relief through enterprise modernization, and this book has been written to lead you to a practical and liberating answer to the widespread disfunction of software systems and the teams that begrudgingly endure them.
