The nature of the duplicated subdomain can also be a reason for teams to go their separate ways. When the subdomain in question is generic, and if the generic solution is easy to integrate, it may be more cost-effective to integrate it locally in each boun‐ ded context. An example is a logging framework; it would make little sense for one of the bounded contexts to expose it as a service. The added complexity of integrating such a solution would outweigh the benefit of not duplicating the functionality in multiple contexts. Duplicating the functionality would be less expensive than collaborating.
