A bounded context is a business domain, in the broad sense, is what an organization does and the world it does it in. A bounded context is a complete, well-defined business domain model. Bounded contexts are data and code. When using DDD, the goal is to create a Bounded Context. It is a desirable goal to align business sub-domains or departments one-to-one with Bounded Contexts.

At the implementation, level bounded contexts are deployable units of the software. In Ruby, a Bounded context might be a gem. The internal structure of the gem can be defined with namespaces. e.g., `Sales,` `Marketing.`

Not supporting business sub-domains pushes the system’s architecture towards a random structure. Bounded context exposes concepts from a single domain.
