Introduction

Microservices architecture is a modern software design approach that has transformed how scalable and maintainable systems are built. It’s based on the principle of decomposing a monolithic application into a series of independent services, each responsible for a well-defined business domain. But this decomposition raises a crucial question: how do we define the boundaries of each microservice?

This is where the concept of bounded context, introduced by Domain-Driven Design (DDD), becomes essential. It helps structure microservices around coherent business models, avoiding ambiguity and unnecessary dependencies.
