Domain Events, a Domain-Driven Design (DDD) pattern, provide a way to decouple your code. Rather than hard-coding a series of steps that must be completed in response to a particular action a user takes, that action can raise an event. Handlers for an event can be added without changing the code responsible for raising the event, resulting in a more extensible design. Coupled with SignalR or push notifications in the UI layer, domain events can trigger live updates, even to web-based applications and mobile apps.
