Adding a column is a migration. Adding a state to an Order aggregate is an evolution. They look alike, but the failure modes and rollbacks are not.

TenantId in the domain, tenant-aware adapters at the edge. The seam that turns cross-tenant leaks from a code-review problem into a compile-time one.

When people think about working in a CRM, they usually think about features such as, form, dashboards, workflows. Continue reading on Medium »

An Order is one aggregate. Customer plus Orders plus Invoices is not. Where the boundary goes decides whether your writes survive Black Friday.

Order, Catalog, Billing, Identity are different domains. They should look different in your namespaces, your tables, and your tests.
