DDD Meets Platform Engineering

Imagine a world in which every architectural decision requires extreme cross-functional coordination. Some call it the Architectural Review Board (ARB); some replace it with never-ending meetings that do not yield tangible outcomes; and others reach a state of decision-making paralysis. All of these lead to probably the same result—suboptimal experience for developers and end users—ultimately impacting business growth. Contrast this with the organizations where the autonomy is evident for all stakeholders to be able to make decisions within their domain as they build their underlying technology decisions, infrastructure, and processes.
