RESTful SOA or Domain-Driven Design - A Compromise?
Summary
Vaughn Vernon advocates using DDD’s strategic modeling patterns when integrating services in a RESTful SOA implementation, avoiding one of SOA’s pitfalls: focusing on services rather than the domain.

Thanks for your positive feedback. Glad you enjoyed the presentation and can benefit from the concepts. True, the DDD patterns can be applied outside a REST environment, and they often are.
Brilliant !!

Thank you for such a useful presentation. This filled my gap in understanding how exactly DDD fits in a REST based SOA architecture. In my experience in the industry, very few people get DDD, let alone use it efficiently in their designs, more so given the SOA centric design practices, forgetting the value of a well thought out domain model. Hopefully this changes soon.
