The discussion also covers the inspiration behind Domo, its practical applications, and performance considerations.Moreover, Sasha and Ivan discuss potential use cases where Domo shines and some scenarios where it might not be the ideal tool. They also touch on domain-driven design principles and Ivan’s interest in seeing Domo deployed in large-scale systems with multiple microservices.Don't miss it as they uncover the possibilities and limitations of Domo, its impact on compile times, and real-world testing scenarios.
