Structure of a single bounded context

Question

Does bounded context span over all application layers (domain, application, presentation & infrastructure) or just domain model? For example should i use the following s

Answer 1

I think it is not a question about DDD precisely but about an architecture. What kind of coupling between bounded contexts is acceptable/desirable for you.

If all your bounded contexts will:

• be developed in one programming language
• access the same database engine
• be developed by a relatively small team (up to ~20 people)

then probably you should go with the second approach - each bounded context contains its own domain and application layer and all the bounded contexts share the same infrastructure and application layer.

In other cases, you should considering the microservces/SOA architecture.
