Stop letting your database dictate your TypeScript domain logic

If you want to implement Domain-Driven Design in TypeScript today, the ecosystem usually forces you into one of three frustrating corners: Going all-in on Event Sourcing. On one side, you have tools like Emmett.js. They are fantastic if you are building a deeply event-driven system. But pragmatically, Event Sourcing is the right architectural choice for maybe 5% of projects. For the other 95%, forcing your team to maintain an Event Store just to get clean domain boundaries is massive operational overkill. Drowning in OOP boilerplate. On the other side, you have framework modules like NestJS CQRS. These force you into a heavy OOP paradigm: endless decorators, classes with mutable state, and leaky dependency injection, often without enforcing a strict, proper DDD structure out of the box. Rolling your own in-house framework. Because the first two options are so polarizing, many teams just give up and build it themselves. You end up spending weeks hand-wiring aggregates, writing custom ev
