Developing a software product in a no-code development platform to address a problem related to a business domain

An apparatus for developing a software product in a no-code development platform (NCDP) to address a problem related to a business domain, the apparatus comprising:

• a memory configured to store computer-readable program code;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to access the memory, and execute the computer-readable program code to cause the apparatus to at least:
• design and thereby produce a design of the software product in the NCDP, including the apparatus caused to:
• receive design instructions describing software features, wherein the design instructions comprise a semi-structured grammar of a domain-driven design (DDD) natural language for the business domain that includes a set of natural language primitives in a bounded context related to the business domain;
• and
• generate a metamodel using the design instructions and the DDD natural language, the metamodel configured to implement the software features, wherein the metamodel comprises one or more aggregate services, commands for invoking the one or more aggregate services, and events comprising data describing changes in a state of the software product;
• implement the one or more aggregate services, commands, and events to build the software product from the metamodel using an event sourcing framework as a programming model for the software product, wherein the software product is built without requiring user coding of the software product;
• and
• deploy the software product.

A computer-readable storage medium for developing a software product in a no-code development platform (NCDP) to address a problem related to a business domain, the computer-readable storage medium being non-transitory and having computer-readable program code stored therein that, in response to execution by processing circuitry, causes an apparatus to at least:

• design and thereby produce a design of the software product in the NCDP, including the apparatus caused to:
• receive design instructions describing software features, wherein the design instructions comprise a semi-structured grammar of a domain-driven design (DDD) natural language for the business domain that includes a set of natural language primitives in a bounded context related to the business domain;
• and
• generate a metamodel using the design instructions and the DDD natural language, the metamodel configured to implement the software features, wherein the metamodel comprises one or more aggregate services, commands for invoking the one or more aggregate services, and events comprising data describing changes in a state of the software product;
• implement the one or more aggregate services, commands, and events to build the software product from the metamodel using an event sourcing framework as a programming model for the software product, wherein the software product is built without requiring user coding of the software product;
• and
• deploy the software product.
