OmNomNom

A walk through OmNomNom, a demo built to make service boundaries visible in code. Starts with what a service boundary actually is and works out from there.

  1. Service boundaries are about authority

    Service boundaries are not about data shape or workflow. They are about authority, and most diagrams skip the part that matters.

  2. Finding service boundaries is not a naming exercise

    Service boundaries are not named into existence. They are discovered by asking who actually gets to decide, what handoffs exist, and where authority quietly leaks.

  3. Finding OmNomNom's service boundaries

    Walking OmNomNom through the questions from the previous post and landing on five boundaries that are nothing like Product, Order, Customer, and Payment.
