heuristics for defining bounded contexts

You can define bounded contexts by splitting on:

• subdomain
• business value
• team size/cognitive load
• business process
• technical constraints
• customer types
• rate of change
• access requirements

You can use multiple of these: a business process could have high business value, so they could combine for a bounded context.
