A CRUD is simple and fast. But is it enough to build any application? Spoiler alert: no. A few years ago, I joined the core team of Sylius, an open-source project where I mainly contributed to developing a tool that simplified CRUD management.

In this talk, I’ll share the challenges I faced with CRUD and explain how to design rich, business-oriented models using the tactical patterns of Domain-Driven Design (DDD).
