To identify bounded contexts in domain-driven design, map your software architecture to business-domain concepts by delineating clear boundaries, establishing ubiquitous language, and generating structured context maps for alignment.

Define aggregates and domain events by applying domain-driven design constructs that group related entities and capture state changes, maintaining clean boundaries through anti-corruption layers and explicit domain modeling.

You need a context map when designing or evaluating systems serving a business domain, providing structured visual recommendations for how bounded contexts interact and where to apply domain-driven design concepts.

Using domain-driven design, evaluate microservices versus a monolith in a domain-aware way by analyzing bounded contexts and boundary mappings to decide how to split services and teams effectively.

Code structure misaligns with business domain needs when architecture lacks explicit domain modeling constructs like bounded contexts, aggregates, and domain events, which domain-driven design provides to ensure structural alignment.

Avoid domain-driven design when a project lacks complex business-domain rules or explicit domain modeling requirements, as the overhead of delineating bounded contexts and mapping boundaries provides little value for simple systems.
