DDD ≠ RAD

Hexagonal Architecture

@matarld
@chalas_r

The Layers and The Dependency Rule 

Domain

Models, Value objects, Events, Repositories

Application

Use cases, Application services, DTOs, Commands, Queries

Infrastructure

Controllers, Databases, Caches, Vendors

Hexagonal Architecture

@matarld
@chalas_r

Benefits

Domain integrity is preserved

Code is more testable

Technological decisions can be deferred

Domain is agnostic to the outside world
