Talk

Functional and Algebraic Domain Modeling

Domain modeling is usually implemented using OO design. In this approach of "nouns-first" we design object hierarchies using subtyping to model the various elements of the domain. In this talk we will take a different approach using Scala:

  • Start with focus on verbs first
  • Think how we can model domain behaviors using pure functions grouped within extensible modules
  • Use an algebraic approach towards evolution of modules,the algebra being composed of functions, types & laws
  • See how the domain algebra can be constructed from categorical structures like monoids, functors & monads
  • Discuss how the functional patterns lead to compositionality - an extremely important quality that scales your domain model.
