Aggregates
Explore the concept of aggregates in Domain Driven Design, which group entities and value objects into single units with clear boundaries. Understand how aggregates prevent unmanageable interactions, simplify business logic access, and ensure consistency within a bounded context.
It might be necessary to create a huge number of entities and value objects and facilitate interactions between them, when we deal with a complex bounded context. These conditions may lead to the creation of a big ball of mud. As was explained before, this is an anti-pattern where interactions among objects are unmanageable. It can be described as a spaghetti code.
A big ball of mud implementation tends to grow out of control and is difficult to maintain over time. DDD understands this problem and solves it through the definition of a tactical pattern called ...
