One of the major weaknesses of existing domain-driven approaches for developing microservice-based systems is the lack of a comprehensive methodology with a complete definition of the software creation process and appropriate modeling for applying domain-driven methods. Current methodologies are weak in terms of requirement definition and preliminary analysis, and they do not include an architecture design process based on non-functional requirements. Umbrella activities such as project management, risk management, and quality assurance are insufficient, and the smooth transition required between different phases of software development is not ensured. Furthermore, they do not provide adequate scalability and flexibility, and there is insufficient attention to the high scale and complexity of microservices and the necessary activities for implementing, testing, and deploying them.
The goal of this project is to create a domain-driven methodology for software development based on microservice architecture that addresses the problems of existing methods while leveraging their strengths. To achieve this goal, it is essential to first review and evaluate the existing domain-driven methodologies for developing microservice-based systems. Next, the desired activities and process patterns for creating domain-driven microservice systems will be identified. Finally, the targeted domain-driven methodology will be developed based on the results of the previous activities and evaluated according to the established methodology assessment criteria. It will then be implemented in a practical project within an organization.
