Talk #1 - Cleaning software architecture with Domain-Driven Design by Oana Toma
Abstract: This session will explore how clean architecture, also known as hexagonal architecture, can be integrated with Domain-Driven Design, focusing on the solutions addressed by this transformation.
The primary objective is to delve deeply into the definitions and applications of these paradigms, discussing why and when they should be utilized.
Key topics will include decoupling the business logic layer from the data source adapter layer and preventing data quality issues within a business model. These concepts will be illustrated with practical examples inspired by domain driven principles.
Speaker bio: Oana Toma is an enthusiastic Java developer with over a decade of experience in software engineering, including eight years at ING Hubs Romania.
She began her career as a .NET developer before transitioning to Java to embrace a broader ecosystem.
Oana has a keen interest in clean code, hexagonal architecture, and domain-driven design. Beyond her professional pursuits, she is an avid world explorer with a love for photography, cycling, and watching football games.
