NEW BOOK
Pragmatic DDD with Laravel
AI will love your code
Master Domain-Driven Design, CQRS, and Hexagonal Architecture with practical Laravel examples.
Why DDD Matters
Most Laravel applications start simple but become unmaintainable spaghetti as they grow. Business logic scattered across controllers, models, and services. Changes in one place break things elsewhere.
Domain-Driven Design gives you patterns to organize complexity—and AI tools can understand and extend well-structured code.
What You'll Learn
DDD Building Blocks
Entities, Value Objects, Aggregates, Repositories—implement them properly in Laravel without over-engineering.
CQRS Pattern
Separate reads from writes. Commands, Queries, and Handlers that scale and test beautifully.
Hexagonal Architecture
Ports and Adapters that keep your domain pure. Swap databases, APIs, or frameworks without rewriting business logic.
AI-READY CODE
Why AI Will Love Your Code
Well-structured DDD code isn't just for humans. AI coding assistants understand and extend clean architectures better than spaghetti code.
// AI understands this structure:
final class Booking extends AggregateRoot
{
/** @var BookingItem[] */
private array $items = [];
public function addItem(Product $product, int $quantity): void
{
if ($this->status !== BookingStatus::Pending) {
throw new CannotModifyConfirmedBooking();
}
$this->items[] = new BookingItem($product, $quantity);
}
public function confirm(): void
{
if ($this->totalAmount()->isLessThan($this->minimumSpend)) {
throw new MinimumSpendNotReached();
}
$this->status = BookingStatus::Confirmed;
}
}

What Readers Say
Early feedback from Laravel developers and architects.
"The AI argument completely reframes the 'too much boilerplate' objection. If AI writes the boilerplate, who cares?"
Carlos
Junior Laravel Developer
"This is the first DDD book I've read that feels like it was written by someone who ships on Fridays."
Laura
Tech Lead, 8 years experience
"For Laravel teams wanting structure beyond MVC, this fills a real gap. Best Laravel DDD guide available."
Miguel
DDD Architect, 15 years experience
"Best compromise for Laravel shops. The domain layer is truly framework-agnostic."
Andres
Clean Architecture Advocate
"The code examples are production-grade. Real PHP 8.2+ code, not pseudocode. Finally validates modern DDD in PHP."
