I'd say that you idea of Domaim is unduly restrictive. Yes, in an e-commerce or a merchandise based business, Products and Orders are domain objects. But services and ports and interfaces are every bit as real from a complementary domain - the domain Of software design and Technology Operations.

We are at historically bad levels of Interoperability because we don't really engineer software for management. We just call it an implementation detail.

Domains overlap. An e-commerce system will have a domain perspective to Infrastructure and the Infrastructure provider will have domain perspective on a Tennant like a specific e-commerce system. Bother are valid. There's real value in reducing the impedance between those views

It's true both are valid, but I think you miss that the domain of software design and technical operations is a) secondary to and dependent on the actual business, and b) far less stable than the domain. As somebody who has written software and done ops for decades, I certainly value it. But I think it's a mistake to put it on an equal footing with the actual purpose of the enterprise.
