# Architecture of Contexts > [!Note] > By defining [[Bounded Context]] with dedicated teams, independent repositories, own databases, and clear ownership, the system achieves parallel development and eliminates ambiguity.` The Architecture of Contexts in [[Domain-Driven Design]] champions the isolation of each subdomain into its own cohesive unit, ensuring that a **dedicated team** with deep expertise steers its evolution. Each context lives in an **independent** [[Repository]], which prevents hidden dependencies and empowers teams to deliver features in parallel without coordination overhead. By granting each context its **own database**, the data schema can be tailored precisely to the model’s requirements, avoiding the compromises of shared storage. Finally, establishing **clear ownership** for every part of the system eradicates ambiguities in decision-making, enabling teams to move forward confidently with responsibility and accountability. --- ## References - Vernon, V.
