Bounded Contexts in PHP. Physically separated, not just conceptual.
Bounded Contexts are the core concept of Domain-Driven Design, yet the boundaries rarely exist in code. Jardis generates each as a standalone PHP package with its own structure, entities, and rules.
Bounded Contexts sound simple. Clean implementation is not.
Most teams draw domain boundaries on whiteboards. In code, they do not exist.
Boundaries exist only on paper
The architecture diagram shows clear domains. In code, the billing service reads user tables directly, and the order module accesses inventory entities. Boundaries erode with every feature because nothing enforces them physically.
Domain logic spreads everywhere
Without real separation, business logic migrates wherever it is needed. Pricing rules appear in checkout, validation lands in controllers. After a year, nobody knows which logic belongs to which domain.
Teams work against each other instead of in parallel
Three teams, one monolith, the same namespaces. Every change to one domain risks side effects in another. Deployments become coordination overhead because there are no real boundaries.
How Jardis Implements Bounded Contexts.
Each Bounded Context becomes a standalone PHP package. No conventions, physical separation.
One package per domain, with its own structure
Jardis generates each Bounded Context as a standalone PHP package with its own directory structure: entities, commands, queries, events, API contracts, and repository pipeline. No BC imports classes from another. The separation is the folder structure itself.
Communication only via contracts and events
Bounded Contexts do not talk to each other directly. Jardis generates API contracts and domain events as defined interfaces between domains. When a BC changes, contracts break before silent failures reach production.
Everything a Bounded Context needs, from one definition
Define the schema, start the builder. Jardis generates 3-layer entities, commands and queries (CQRS), domain events, API contracts, and the repository pipeline. 80% of the technical foundation is ready instantly. Your team writes the business logic.
Why Teams Choose Jardis for Bounded Contexts.
Because DDD does not fail because of theory. It fails because of technical implementation.
Each team owns its Bounded Context
Billing, ordering, inventory: each domain is a standalone package. Teams develop and deploy independently. No coordination over shared namespaces, no merge conflicts in foreign domains.
The architecture explains itself
New team members open the project and immediately see: which domains exist, where the boundaries are, how BCs communicate. No architecture documentation needed. The structure is the documentation.
Change domains without side effects
Refactoring a domain without breaking others. That only works with real boundaries. Jardis enforces isolation at the filesystem level. Internal changes to one BC cannot affect other BCs.

Answers about Bounded Contexts with Jardis.
Per Bounded Context, Jardis generates a standalone PHP package with its own directory structure. Included: the entity hierarchy, CQRS infrastructure, domain events, and API contracts for communication with other BCs. Each package is self-contained. No BC imports classes from another.
