Julie LERMAN: Mapping DDD Domain Models with EF Core 2.1 @ Update Conference Prague 2018
Entity Framework half-heartedly supported DDD patterns. But the new-from-scratch EF Core has brought new hope for DDD practitioners to map your well-designed domain classes to a database, reducing the cases where a separate data model is needed. EF Core 2.1 is very DDD friendly, even supporting things like fully encapsulated collections, backing fields and the return of support for value objects. In this hands we'll review some well-designed aggregates and explore how far EF Core 2.1 goes to act as the data model between your domain classes and your data store.
