In a good deal of the systems I've worked on, the persistence layer (repositories) used SqlClient directly and returned datasets to a calling service. A half way point, if you will, between Transaction/Action script and DDD. For applications where behaviour is more important than data and it's hard to define all the behaviour up front DDD is the way to go.Īs a side-note to mendelt's post, I feel there is a fourth pattern: one that is layered, separates busines logic from persistence and storage, yet uses no "entities", or "busines objects". This might be a reason to go data-driven when you need to develop simpler solutions.

Ruby on rails has tools that make working with active record objects easier. This is a typical transaction script solution and this is great to easilly create simple applications.
#Data driven design vs domain driven design code#
In the microsoft space it is very easy to visually design websites where all the code lives right behind the web-page. Lots of tooling makes data-driven solutions easier. Domain Driven Design is a method to optimally use this added flexibility to implement complex solutions without being tied to a database implementation. This enables you to handle changing requirements easier. You use a domain model when you want to decouple your business logic from the database. But because these are still tightly coupled to the database changes in the datamodel can be very expensive.
#Data driven design vs domain driven design verification#
Because you decouple your UI you can for example reuse the layer beneath it between applications, you can easilly add some business rules and verification logic to the business objects. Transaction script is good when you have few or no business rules, you just want to do data-entry and have no verification steps or all the verification is implemented in the database.Īctive record adds some flexibility to that. The benefits are better maintainability and flexibility. The cost of this added separation is of course extra work. The model knows nothing about the database. You split off your UI, your business logic and data layer still live together in active record objects that are modeled after the database.Ī domain model decouples the business logic that lives in your model from your data-layer. The same piece of code reads/writes the database, processes the data and handles the user interface.Īctive Record is one step up from that. Transaction script is an architecture where you don't have any layering. DDD uses the domain model pattern for the overall architecture and describes a lot of practices and patterns to implement and design this model. Transaction Script, Active Record and Domain Model. First for some background, Martin Fowler actually described three different "patterns" in his book Patterns of Enterprise Arcitecture.
