Event Storming diagram with connected sticky notes representing an event-driven architecture

Event Storming is a method to elaborate a domain model together with domain experts and technologists in a sticky notes session.

One great tool to use is Miro, but this is a proprietary and commercial SaaS platform. There do no exist any good FOSS tools that are a replacement for the intuitive features that Miro offers. Another SaaS platfrom that supports collaborative sticky note whiteboarding is Mural.

There is a great open source tool in the making for collaborative UX design. It is called Penpot. It has a whiteboarding kit, that comes close to the functionality that is needed. So I created a feature request on their community forum (and send a toot about it too):

Well, am I lucky? The image I obtained above using a DDG image search, came from an open source project, that looks mighty interesting…

A Modeling Framework for Strategic Domain-driven Design

Context Mapper is a modular and extensible modeling framework for Domain-driven Design (DDD) and its strategic patterns. The core component provides a DSL to create context maps featuring these DDD patterns. The model behind the language and its semantic rules express our interpretation of the DDD patterns and how these patterns can be combined in a concise and consistent manner. At present, Context Mapper comes as an Eclipse plugin, a Visual Studio Code extension, or as a standalone Java library version
