Domain definition
The Digital Domain represents the software stack, including middleware, applications, and data management. It provides the technological ecosystem that enables organizational collaboration, data-driven insights, and secure service interactions.
Key decisions
- What is our target data architecture and definition framework?
- How do we implement a Zero Trust security posture?
- Which services should be centralized versus distributed?
- How do we manage identity, authentication, and authorization?
Common anti-patterns
- Technical Debt Accumulation (prioritizing short-term speed over stability)
- Data Islands (isolated data stores that prevent enterprise-wide visibility)
- Security as an Afterthought (bolting on security after development)
