: Implement functions like NewAggregateName to handle complex initialization and ensure the domain starts in a valid state.

: An abstraction layer between the domain and the data store, allowing the domain to remain agnostic of the underlying database. Proposed Project Structure

: Clusters of domain objects treated as a single unit for data changes. For instance, a Customer aggregate might encapsulate validation and ID generation within a factory function like NewCustomer . Entities & Value Objects :

Go's package system is well-suited for DDD. A common approach is to use the internal directory to prevent external exposure of domain-specific logic. Responsibility Typical Go Package Core business logic, entities, and repository interfaces. internal/domain Application Orchestrates tasks and delegates to domain objects. internal/application Infrastructure Implements repository interfaces (DB, APIs). internal/infrastructure Interfaces Entry points for the system (HTTP, CLI, gRPC). internal/interfaces Key Tactical Implementation Steps

: Objects with a unique identity that persists over time.

DDD is divided into strategic and tactical patterns. Tactical patterns are the primary focus when structuring a Go codebase.
