Domain-driven Development and the Large
Financial Enterprise
with
Chris
Rybitski,
IT
Director and Vice President of Web Platforms, 5280 Solutions |
Heterogeneous customer and financial
sub-systems contained in multiple operating environments
present unique challenges for software engineers. Disparate
data sources and types, transactional considerations, and
platform differences are just some of the common challenges.
There's no such thing as a "silver bullet" system, and often
times the systems you're working with were not designed with
large-scale integration in mind. Having your enterprise
present one or more "logical views" of data can be time
consuming and costly if approached in a loose or siloed
manner.
Leveraging the use of domain-aware software frameworks
designed to act as the glue-that-binds can often overcome
many of these challenges, and offers the ability to lower
your cost of development and deployment over time. |
