Bringing Domain-Driven Design to the Frontend (Yes, Even in Angular)
Why Frontend Architecture Needs Domain Thinking
One of the most overlooked aspects of frontend development is strategic architecture.
We spend so much time discussing components, state management, and routing — but rarely do we ask:
"How do our frontend modules align with real business domains?"
In this week's post, I dig into a topic that’s usually reserved for backend engineers: Domain-Driven Design (DDD) — and show how it can be incredibly useful for Angular frontends, too.
Inside the Article:
🔍 How to find meaningful context boundaries in your frontend codebase
⚖️ What to do when heuristics conflict — and no boundary is obvious
⚡ Event Storming for UI planning – not just for backend workflows
📦 When and how to create dedicated bounded contexts for the frontend
🧩 How to apply strategic DDD patterns inside Angular modules
Why This Matters
Angular projects — especially enterprise-scale ones — often suffer from:
Monolithic UI layers
Blurred responsibilities between features
Difficult-to-scale module structures
Applying DDD gives you a language and framework to tackle this complexity — by aligning technical boundaries with real-world domain logic.
Even in the frontend.
