Domain-Driven Design (DDD)

A software design approach that models complex business domains in code, using a shared language and bounded contexts to align software structure with the business it serves.

Strategy

Defines a family of interchangeable algorithms behind a common interface so the algorithm can vary independently from the clients that use it.

Observer

Establishes a one-to-many dependency so that when one object changes state, all its dependents are notified and updated automatically.

Command

Encapsulates a request as an object, letting you parameterize, queue, log, and undo operations independently of who invokes them.

Iterator

Provides a uniform way to traverse the elements of a collection sequentially without exposing its underlying representation.

Mediator

Centralizes complex communication between objects in a mediator so components refer to it instead of to each other, reducing coupling.

Memento

Captures and externalizes an object's internal state so it can be restored later without violating encapsulation.

State

Lets an object alter its behavior when its internal state changes, appearing to change class by delegating to state-specific objects.

Template Method

Defines the skeleton of an algorithm in a base method, deferring specific steps to subclasses so they can vary parts without changing the structure.

Visitor

Separates an algorithm from the object structure it operates on, letting you add new operations over a class hierarchy without modifying it.

Chain of Responsibility

Passes a request along a chain of handlers, each deciding to process it or forward it, decoupling sender from the specific receiver.

Interpreter

Defines a grammar for a simple language and an interpreter that evaluates sentences in that language using a class per grammar rule.

Null Object

Provides a do-nothing object with neutral behavior in place of null, eliminating null checks and special-case handling.

Specification

Encapsulates a business rule as a reusable, combinable predicate object that tells whether a candidate satisfies the rule.

Servant

Defines shared behavior for a group of classes in a separate servant object that operates on them, instead of duplicating the behavior in each class.

Blackboard

Coordinates independent specialized components that incrementally build a shared solution on a common data store for ill-defined problems.

Repository

Mediates between the domain and data mapping layers via a collection-like interface for accessing domain objects, hiding persistence details.

Unit of Work

Tracks objects affected by a business transaction and coordinates writing out changes and resolving concurrency as a single commit.

Data Mapper

Moves data between objects and a database while keeping them independent, so domain objects carry no persistence knowledge.

Active Record

Wraps a database row in an object that carries both the data and the methods to load, save, and delete itself.

Value Object

Models a concept defined by its attributes rather than identity, making it immutable and compared by value to keep the domain expressive and safe.

Domain Event

Captures something significant that happened in the domain as an explicit object, decoupling the trigger from the reactions to it.

What is data modeling?

Data modeling is the practice of defining how data is structured, related, and stored to meet an application's or analytics needs. It usually progresses from a conceptual model (high-level entities and relationships), to a logical model (attributes, keys, and normalization rules), to a physical model (concrete tables, types, and indexes for a specific database). In analytics, dimensional modeling with star and snowflake schemas organizes data into fact and dimension tables for fast querying. Good modeling balances integrity, performance, and clarity, and shapes how easily the system can evolve.
