It holds various pre-built modules which are very easy to integrate with our application and reduces development time tremendously. As ERP application requires integrating all the business processes of an organization, developing an ERP application with an APB framework reduces cost and development time.

Let us have a look in brief at ERP and how it goes well with the ABP framework.

Domain-Driven Development:

Domain-driven design consists of a set of patterns for building enterprise applications from the domain model out DDD is suitable for complex domains and large-scale applications. It focuses on the core domain logic rather than the infrastructure details.

We can build a flexible, modular, and maintainable codebase using the ABP framework. Implementing DDD highly relies on Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and SOLID principles.
