In the ever-growing software ecosystem, successful products need to have great performance, security, maintainability and usability. For the people who deliver those products, quality assurance, time to market and cost matter most. They sometimes push security-related tasks to the side. After all, time is tight. It doesn’t matter if the system is secure if features the users need are not there. So, how do you build security into the pipeline in a way that keeps it important? Domain-driven design provides a roadmap. Take an in-depth look at how it works.
With the traditional approach, the security review identifies severe vulnerabilities to address before production. This can set your project back by a few weeks, or maybe even months. That, in turn, results in lost revenue. To create secure software efficiently and effortlessly, it is important to focus more on security by design rather than leaving it as an afterthought.
Starting with the Basics of Design
To understand domain-driven design, we need to answer another question first: What is design?
Well, the developers writing code pay careful attention to represent business logic. That’s the part that makes the product unique, builds code explicitly and makes the product easy to maintain. While modeling the business domain, developers spend a considerable amount of time evolving and refining the domain model and how they will represent it in code. For example, they consider aspects such as readability or performance, based on preferences, and decide how to write the code in that statement. Based on experience and knowledge, they make choices that match the software built. These choices are part of what determines the design of the software.
From there, that design is the guidi ..
