Domain-Driven Design in .NET Core

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) focuses on the core business domain and its logic.

Core concepts:

1. Ubiquitous language — shared vocabulary between developers and domain experts.

2. Entities — objects with identity that change over time.

3. Value objects — immutable objects defined by their values.

4. Aggregates — clusters of domain objects treated as a unit.

5. Repositories — abstractions for retrieving and persisting aggregates.

Architecture impact: DDD shapes your .NET Core model around business rules instead of database tables or frameworks.
