Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When your app gets big and hard to maintain
Monolith's a beast that's hard to tame
Break it down to services small and neat
Each one does one job and can't be beat
Find the seams where business logic splits
That's where your decomposition fits

[Chorus]
Break it down, own your data
Bounded context, that's the way to go
Break it down, own your data
Microservices help your system grow
D-O-B makes services free
Decompose, Own, Boundary!

[Verse 2]
Bounded context draws the magic line
Where one service ends, another's fine
Customer service handles user needs
Order service tracks what each one feeds
Don't let services share the same database
Keep your data in its rightful place

[Chorus]
Break it down, own your data
Bounded context, that's the way to go
Break it down, own your data
Microservices help your system grow
D-O-B makes services free
Decompose, Own, Boundary!

[Bridge]
By domain model, split your code apart
By business capability, that's the art
By team structure, Conway's law is true
The system mirrors what your people do
Data ownership means you control your fate
No shared databases, keep them separate!

[Verse 3]
Each service has its own data store
Can't reach into another's core
If you need their data, make a call
Through APIs, that's the protocol
Loose coupling keeps your system strong
Tight cohesion keeps your service long

[Chorus]
Break it down, own your data
Bounded context, that's the way to go
Break it down, own your data
Microservices help your system grow
D-O-B makes services free
Decompose, Own, Boundary!

[Outro]
When you architect with these patterns true
Scalable systems will follow through
Remember D-O-B, it's your key
To microservice mastery!
