In "anemic" models, objects are just containers of fields, and all the logic is pushed into services. DDD does the opposite: - entities (`Entity`) and value objects (`Value Object`) **contain their own methods** describing business actions; - the code reflects real processes ("pay an order," "reserve a product"), not CRUD operations. **Result:** the model becomes "alive": business logic is concentrated in the domain instead of being smeared across layers.For the reviewerNote to the moderator (optional)Visible only to the moderator.
