Domain-Driven Design Europe 2025 - Organised by Aardling (https://aardling.eu/) https://dddeurope.com https://newsletter.dddeurope.com/ https://be.linkedin.com/company/domain-driven-design-europe https://bsky.app/profile/dddeu.bsky.social https://mastodon.social/@dddeu@m.aardling.social Developer platforms are supposed to defy the IT laws of physics: they boost innovation through harmonisation; they speed up development while assuring compliance; and they reduce cognitive load without restricting choice. But how exactly are they doing that? Does providing sane defaults or templating a golden path really abstract away cognitive load? Successful platforms do one thing well: they abstract technical complexity by providing a domain-specific language for developers. That language maps back to cloud automation, reference architectures, and, indeed, golden paths. Let’s explore how DDD plays a critical role in Platform Engineering. About Gregor Hohpe: Architect Elevator Gregor rides the Architect Elevator from the engine room to the penthouse, perhaps automating serverless solutions in the morning and preparing board presentations in the afternoon. He helps technology leaders transform both their organization and their technology platform, leads architecture teams out of the ivory tower, and rethinks serverless programming models. His favorite pastime is dissecting buzzwords to replace them with meaningful decisions and architectural trade-offs. Gregor is known as co-author of the seminal book Enterprise Integration Patterns, which provided the reference vocabulary for all modern ESBs. His book The Software Architect Elevator tells stories from the trenches of IT transformation while his articles have been featured in Best Software Writing by Joel Spolsky and 97 Things Every Software Architect Should Know. He is an active member of the IEEE Software advisory board.
