I will design your java backend using strict ddd


About this gig
Stop letting frameworks dictate your business logic.
When enterprise applications scale, a tightly coupled codebase becomes a nightmare to maintain. I specialize in engineering Java backends where the core business rules are 100% isolated from the infrastructure, database, and the Spring framework itself.
As a Senior Software Architect, I build robust, production-ready systems using Java 21+, Spring Boot 3, strict Domain-Driven Design (DDD), and Hexagonal Architecture.
What I provide:
- Domain Modeling: Translating your complex business requirements into a clear Ubiquitous Language and defining strict Bounded Contexts.
- Hexagonal Structure: Setting up Inbound/Outbound Ports and Adapters to ensure your core domain remains pure and framework-agnostic.
- State Safety: Enforcing business invariants through strict Aggregate design. I explicitly use static factory methods for domain object instantiation to prevent invalid states.
- Enterprise-Grade Testability: Delivering code that allows instant, 100% pure unit testing of your business logic (JUnit 5/AssertJ), separated entirely from slow Spring Boot Context initialization.

FAQ
What is the difference between your approach and standard Spring Boot?
Standard Spring couples logic to the DB. I isolate a pure Java core using DDD and Hexagonal Architecture. Your business rules remain framework-agnostic, enabling instant unit testing without loading the full Spring Context.
What is a "Bounded Context" ?
In DDD, a Bounded Context encapsulates a specific business boundary (like Billing). Isolating them prevents code entanglement, making the application modular, scalable, and ready for microservices.
Will you build the complete application (Frontend + Backend) ?
No. This Gig is strictly focused on Backend Software Architecture and Core Domain implementation in Java. I do not build frontend interfaces or handle cloud deployment within this service.
Do you document the code with comments ?
I write self-documenting, clean code with strict typing and contract-oriented Javadoc. I intentionally avoid useless inline comments to ensure the codebase remains clean and production-ready.
How do you ensure my domain objects are always valid ?
I enforce strict invariants. Instead of public constructors, I exclusively use Static Factory Methods. This guarantees that every Aggregate or Value Object is instantiated in a valid state.
Can you integrate this into legacy Spring apps ?
Yes. I can extract a specific feature into an isolated Bounded Context using the Strangler Fig pattern. Please message me first to discuss your repository structure and migration path.
