Bounded Context is a central pattern in Domain-Driven Design that defines the boundaries within which a particular model is applicable. It helps to delineate different areas of the system, ensuring that the models within one context do not conflict with those in another, facilitating clearer communication and organization of the domain.

The benefits of using Bounded Contexts include improved clarity and separation of different parts of the system, reduced complexity by isolating models and logic within specific boundaries, and enhanced ability to scale and evolve different parts of the system independently.
How do Bounded Contexts improve system design?
Bounded Contexts improve system design by clearly defining the boundaries within which specific models and logic are valid, reducing the risk of conflicts and inconsistencies. This approach promotes a more modular and maintainable architecture, where each context can evolve independently without affecting others.
How do you define and manage Bounded Contexts in a project?
To define and manage Bounded Contexts in a project, you need to identify the different domains and subdomains within your system, and establish clear boundaries around each one. This involves mapping out the relationships and interactions between different contexts and ensuring that each context has its own distinct model and logic. Effective communication and collaboration between teams are crucial to maintaining these boundaries and integrating the contexts smoothly.
