It answers the question: *how to split a complex business into manageable parts*. Key elements: 1. **Bounded Context**: the boundary of a model, with a shared language and rules inside, and interfaces for communication outside. 2. **Context Map**: a diagram of how contexts interact (for example, "Orders" ↔ "Payments"). 3. **Core / Supporting / Generic Domains**: priorities: the core of the business, supporting areas, and generic parts. 4. **Partnership Patterns**: types of relationships between contexts: *Shared Kernel, Customer/Supplier, Conformist*, and others. **The point:** strategic design manages complexity at the level of the whole system, not the code.For the reviewerNote to the moderator (optional)Visible only to the moderator.
