About the Book

Domain Driven Microservices on AWS in Practice is your comprehensive guide to applying Domain Driven Design (DDD) principles to build robust, scalable microservices on Amazon Web Services (AWS). You'll gain hands-on experience in creating a serverless application architecture using real-world scenarios, Clean Architecture, and TypeScript. This book is designed to take you from a DDD novice to understanding and implementing a modern application that fully embraces these concepts.

Among software architects and developers, Domain Driven Design has become a cornerstone for building complex systems that accurately reflect business needs. Paired with the flexibility of microservices and the power of AWS, DDD allows for the creation of systems that are both highly responsive and resilient.

Among other things, you'll learn:

• How to effectively use DDD in the context of microservices, especially in a serverless environment.
• The role of strategic DDD in shaping your application's architecture and the tactical DDD patterns to implement it.
• Best practices for designing microservices with a clear domain model and how to map bounded contexts effectively.
• Implementing serverless architecture on AWS, including key services like AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and EventBridge.
• Techniques for ensuring smooth integration between microservices, handling cross-context transactions, and avoiding common pitfalls like distributed monoliths.

Authored by Mikael Vesavuori, a seasoned architect and developer, this book is not just a handwavy overview but a practical guide, taking you through the entire journey from initial concept to fully functional microservices. By the end of this book, you will have not only learned the essential theory behind DDD and microservices but also gained the confidence to implement these ideas in your projects, driving better design and more maintainable systems.

This book was written to be a key on-ramp for developers, architects, and anyone interested in modern software design. Whether you're looking to enhance your current skill set or embark on a new project, Domain Driven Microservices on AWS in Practice will provide you with the knowledge and tools you need to succeed.

About the Author

Mikael Vesavuori

My name is Mikael Vesavuori, and I architect, develop and design experiences & interactions.

Currently, I am co-founding Popcorn Cloud, which enables the creation and operation of sustainable, scalable, best-practices-driven software deployed to the cloud in a simple, abstracted way that even non-developers can perform.

Most recently, I was Technical Standards Lead at Polestar, where I was also responsible for leading the Software Engineers Competence Group and being the Developer Advocate in our Open Source Program Office. I also initiated and continuously supported the work of the Platform Services and Developer Experience teams.

Prior to this, I was the Lead Cloud Architect at Humblebee, Lead Frontend Developer at Sogeti, and in 2015 I co-founded Being with Nika Helia Persson.

I've also given talks, presentations, and lectures at (among other places) the University of California, CloudNativeGbg, React Gothenburg Meetup, AWS User Group Göteborg, Världskulturmuseet, and Varbergs Konsthall.
