Context Mapping

Context Maps describe the contact between bounded contexts and teams with a collection of patterns. There are nine context map patterns and three different team relationships. The context map patterns describe a variety of perspectives like service provisioning, model propagation or governance aspects. This diversity of perspectives enables you to get an holisitic overview of team and bounded context relationships.

Context Maps can be used to analyze existing systems or application landscapes but they are also suitable for upfront design considerations. However, we have realized that many folks struggle to get started with the context mapping patterns based on the definitions in the exsiting DDD books. This GitHub repository aims to give you some help with context maps with a cheat sheet and a starter kit for Miro.

Context Map Cheat Sheet

Here is a cheat sheet containing brief descriptions of the context mapping patterns:

Remote Context Mapping Starter Kit for Miro

If you perform context mapping with Miro, there is a board backup that gets you started with all the objects for the patterns, team relationships and boundaries. In addition to that the Miro board contains a few examples to get you started:

Context Mapping with Context Mapper

If you want to maintain your context maps in your code repo, Context Mapper allows you to describe your contexts in a text file and generate a diagram from it. Context Mapper is available online (in the browser via Gitpod) or via IDE plugins for Visual Studio Code and Eclipse.
