so it should contain only plain c# or java classes and interfaces, or it is ok to add some external service bus or sth. However, we do not have a port/adapter for the ORM because it is VERY unlikely that we will ever change it and the complexity of doing it is VERY high, so the trade-offs are negative. One of my customers has a centralized application in which a lot of their domain lives; both data as well as logic. The outer circles are mechanisms. But ports on application service defines the contract which actually uses domain model.. so repository layer must be exposed in repost layer. │ │ │ └───Domain I was in Seul last year, btw. [EDIT – 2017-11-18] I completely missed the DTO I use to return data from the query, so I added it now. │ │ ├───Blog So if we put the repositories in the Domain layer it will break the dependency direction rule of concentric >layers architecture, which states that inner layers must not depend on outer layers. The coarse-grained segregation of code is at least as important and it’s about segregating the code according to sub-domains and bounded contexts, following Robert C. Martin ideas expressed in screaming architecture. This approach works both in monolithic applications and distributed applications like micro-services ecosystems. The main purpose of architecture is to improve maintainability and reduce how much time one will have to spend maintaining and modifying their code in the long run. Hi ! And you have the option to try different adapters with less effort. │ └───SharedKernel Before I got into software design and architecture, my code was hurting . The adapters that tell our application to do something are called Primary or Driving Adapters while the ones that are told by our application to do something are called Secondary or Driven Adapters. It will have the methods to save an array and delete a line in a table, and we will inject it wherever the persistence interface is required. I regret to inform you that this post series won’t contain a lot of code and real examples. In the diagram above we use an interface for the Application Service, although we might argue that it is not really needed since the Application Service is part of our application code and we will not want to swap it for another implementation, although we might refactor it entirely. Sorry for the confusion. What I find debatable, is the location of the piece of code that reads events from a queue and delivers them to their listeners: is it a primary or secondary adapter?! To me, this means the listener should be in the core. ( Log Out /  Console - make dev to install each subpackage in editable mode. As I mentioned above, the role of an Application Service is to: However, sometimes we encounter some domain logic that involves different entities, of the same type or not, and we feel that that domain logic does not belong in the entities themselves, we feel that that logic is not their direct responsibility. – a Shared Kernel, in the vision i explain in my blog, should indeed contain the types of classes you mention, except for the Specifications; Nothing in an inner circle can know anything at all about something in an outer circle. Hexagonal Architecture (aka Ports and Adapters) is one strategy to decouple the use cases from the external details. Moving on, there are design principles that you should understand before implementing the Hexagonal Architecture style. The dispatcher is configured to be initialized with a list of event listeners but the code only knows about the event listeners interface (which belongs in a port). In component-bases architecture each component could have infrastructure in its own internal layer architecture according to Simon’s talk. In other words, it can’t be just a CRUD. So if we put the repositories in the Domain layer it will break the dependency direction rule of concentric layers architecture, which states that inner layers must not depend on outer layers. Because all of the dependencies above in the direction “Infrastructure -> Application Core” are done using “implements”. What are your experience with Hexagonal Architecture? Now we advance to the next layer, at the User Interface Layer we translate the input in a way that the Use Cases can understand, it is good practice to do not reuse entities in this layer because it could create coupling, the front-end has specific frameworks, other ways of creating its data structures, different presentation for each field and validation rules. More recently, it's been cited as the Onion Architecture or Clean Architecture. Change ), You are commenting using your Facebook account. The ideal app has to meet the following two criteria: 1. Let’s say we want to switch from MySQL to MongoDB. In practice, you should do what your project requires you to do. I think that if we plan to use different Storages we must create different adapters but repository implementation must not be changed in this case. Yes it does, the controller is the adapter, which triggers a use case (the port). To make those calls faster, you can use gRPC, which is reportedly 10x faster than normal REST/HTTP calls. │ └───WebApp, Again, it depends on the context, it depends on the problem at hand. . How do we compose them? Abstractions should not depend on details. This is often referred to as “Package by feature” or “Package by component” as opposed to”Package by layer“, and it’s quite well explained by Simon Brown in his blog post “Package by component and architecturally-aligned testing“: I am an advocate for the “Package by component” approach and, picking up on Simon Brown diagram about Package by component, I would shamelessly change it to the following: These sections of code are cross-cutting to the layers previously described, they are the components of our application. They together creates a process in the application, they should be sustained for a long time. It’s important to note that the Ports (Interfaces) belong inside the business logic, while the adapters belong outside. Further inwards, we have the Domain Layer. Tkx Together with Domain Driven Design (D D D), hexagonal architecture (and SOLID principles) fit very well microservice architectures. The name hexagonal architecture comes from the way this architecture is usually depicted: We are going to return to why hexagons are used later in this article. And if at so e point u see its advantageous to have the port/adapter, u can always add it then. In general, the further in you go, the higher level the software becomes. For example, let’s suppose that we have a naive application which needs to persist data. First, Hexagonal/Clean Architecture is not over-engineering, it is just bad engineering for most, if not all contexts. Thanks for answer, An Presenter class is detailed bellow and it shows a conversion from the DepositOutput to two different ViewModels. Hello colleague, very good article, the truth is that it describes in a very detailed way the relationship between all the concepts contained in each of the architectures in question. This particular application comes from an external vendor so it’s really can’t be changed in any way. So what I wanted to express with the different notation is that they follow slightly different patterns and what we usually call an MVC controller, in Ports&Adapters is a primary adapter, because its responsibility is to simply extract data from a payload (ie. That being said, i prefer the component based architecture with a UI and infrastructure separated from the backend. These policies translate to event listeners: an event is triggered by the UserComponent and listened to by the InvoicingComponent. We only need to extract logic from the handler into a separated Application Service if we need to reuse that same logic in another handler. If we have an async context, then the dispatcher, instead of delivering the event directly to the listener, will serialize and persist the event into a queue. interpretation that says the lollipop is the interface and the socket is the implementer. In most scenarios we can defer the implementation of external details and still keep the development progress. Thank you for this post, very insightful. Keep in mind the Uncle Bob’s quote: A good architecture allows major decisions to be deferred and a good architect maximize the number of decisions not made. This post is part of The Software Architecture Chronicles, a series of posts about Software Architecture. I would like to contact with you to ask you permission to translate this post into Spanish…if you don’t mind, obviously. Let’s remember the DIP then navigate through one example: High-level modules should not depend on low-level modules. │ └───Presentations (Containers) a Symfony component) which has its own complex interface, and I’m going to use most of the functionality (methods) of it. Or a DQL repository with Doctrine2 which in turn uses MySQL, Postgres or Mongo. A Repository expresses the concept of aggregation for a domain model and it should be seen as a well-known domain service and by this it would belong to the domain layer. Just a conceptual doubt regarding Shared Kernel. So our first reaction might be to place that logic outside the entities, in an Application Service. The answer is, of course, it depends. Check my answer here: https://herbertograca.com/2017/11/16/explicit-architecture-01-ddd-hexagonal-onion-clean-cqrs-how-i-put-it-all-together/comment-page-2/#comment-18281. This approach will couple the components to the discovery service but will keep them decoupled from each other. Adapters implement the ports so that the ports can interact with the domain. Months ago I implemented a template for NodeJs that I published in Github alluding to some of these issues but from a more practical point of view, so I would be flattered if you come by and leave me your comments. Think of it the script as a place where I instantiate all the other components of the application that I need to use. In the other hand, it can use other Domain Services and, of course, the Domain Model objects. On the left we implement the driving actors and on the right we implement the secondary actors. Change ), You are commenting using your Google account. │ │ │ ├───Core As mentioned above, the Ports and Adapters architecture is another name of the Hexagonal Architecture. We also use Solr to improve performance on some of the querying in the application (“LIKE” searches and “JOINS” are not super fast in MongoDB). From then on, I have always felt like I need to recover the “lost” time and learn as much as possible, as fast as possible. Let me know when it’s done and I will put a link on my blog. Unfortunately, I don’t know of another Russian translation, so I had to remove the link. Also, there is a sample in Simon GitHub for this. For the life of me I cannot see any differences between them, they look identical (other than the naming convention). The overriding rule that makes this architecture work is The Dependency Rule. “I don’t think a queue consumer is part of a “presentation” layer: It does not return something to the user, nor does it respond to a direct command of a user (human or not).”. Though these approximations have their own fancy names and could seem completely different, they share a lot in common. As said by Uncle Bob in his book Clean Architecture: Just as the plans for a house or a library scream about the use cases of those buildings, so should the architecture of a software application scream about the use cases of the application. – the shared kernel, in the vision i explain in my blog, is used to contain classes without domain logic (although might belong to the domain layer, like an entity ID), used for communication between components, through the use of events. They are developed by different companies one in Seattle and another in Moscow and still running well together. The repository interface is an abstraction on the persistence engine itself. They are created to fit a very specific entry point to the Application Core, a Port. In this article I will discuss Hexagonal Architecture. They translate whatever comes from a delivery mechanism into a method call in the Application Core. Another external layer is the Infrastructure Layer that implements Data Access, Dependency Injection Framework (DI) and other frameworks specifics. Yeah, I know. Regarding your question, I don’t believe in a “silver bullet”. We need to understand all these patterns, but we also always need to think and understand exactly what our application needs, how far should we go for the sake of decoupling and cohesiveness. En este vídeo hablaremos sobre la Arquitectura Hexagonal, pero antes, introduciremos el concepto de Arquitectura de Software y justificaremos en qué contexto sería necesario plantear una estrategia a seguir al respecto. ├───Componet-Based-Architecture In this last case, I would need to use Domain Entities to be able to define shared Specifications between services, but in this way I would need a reference to my Domain Layer in the Shared Kernel, what I find not very correct. In our particular case with a small team and a single data source I suspect it makes sense to move towards a modular but deliberately coupled architecture which can then be completely decoupled later if necessary through the use of events, shared kernels, etc. │ ├───Core It is important to highlight the dashed arrow from the UI Layer to the Infrastructure layer. This way the receiving component has no knowledge about the component sending the event, although they both know about the event and the dispatcher. Maybe I over complicate things but I’d love to get your feedback on this, as well. – the adapter implements the interface It has to be very simple, for ease of understanding and to make sure it doesn’t take a ton of time. The ports and adapters architecture (which is another name for the hexagonal architecture) makes this clear by its name: There are any number of ports that act as interfaces between the domain and the outside. It is the code that allows our code to do what it is supposed to do, it IS our application. And other things are almost equal in both. name, properties, maybe even methods although these would be more useful in a Specification object) in an agnostic language like JSON, so that all components/micro-services can interpret it and maybe even auto-generate their own concrete implementations. Because the UI usually has complex screens/pages and workflows that require it to know about several backend components. I think there is no domain reason to use a Search port, the reason is technical. In the same way, having completely decoupled components means that a component has no direct knowledge of any another component. Your satellite applications will send messages to that command bus instead of sending it to the central application and waiting for it in order to send a reply to the user., so responsiveness will be improved. Furthermore, Ports & Adapters architecture explicitly identifies three fundamental blocks of code in a system: The application core is what we should really care about. The persistence interface can be the same, and, if we want to continue using the same ORM, even the persistence adapter will stay the same. So I think, for example, about C# as language of architecture core impementation (or one of its part if we talk about micro-services architecture, for example) and SQL/HQL/GraphQL as concrete infrastructure implementaion and prefer to move them to Adapters. These events are triggered when a specific set of data changes and they carry those changes with them. Like Simon’s C4 Model and have a unique UI for all of our components. So we create a persistence interface that meets its needs, with a method to save an array of data and a method to delete a line in a table by its ID. I don’t consider a repository interface as part of the domain layer because the domain doesn’t care about persistence, it cares about business rules, and the repositories are about persistence. When the data changes in the component that owns it, that owner component will trigger a domain event carrying the data changes. I am currently planning to develop an application using this architecture. Component A will need to make a direct HTTP call to component B. “I tend to see it as a secondary adapter because its activities are not triggered by direct user action, but its debatable.”. The hexagonal/clean architecture is not the same as a microservices architecture, but the two are not completely incompatible. Example project used in the book Implementing the Clean Architecture. Hope this helps. Testability in isolation. Today’s post is about how I fit all of these pieces together and, as it seems I should give it a name, I call it Explicit Architecture. However, the interface specification they create is actually just mimicking the adapters/tools API. │ │ │ └───Domain Do you have a code repository with examples? Hexagonal Architecture (aka Ports and Adapters) is one strategy to decouple the use cases from the external details. Thanks a lot for this article and for all the series ! There is however some API’s and they even do some direct interactions on database level. Well, it all depends on what you want to do with that centralized application. Using events, through an event bus (message queue), you need to account for eventual consistency, but on the other hand, the components are decoupled (you can change or remove a receiver without impacting the sender) and its more scalable because the receiving instances are in control of their own workload, because they pull work from the event bus at their own rate. In DDD, however, i do not recall any reference about it. Hi @hgraca, Visual Studio makes it easy to add libraries for Reflection, Serialization, Security and many others Nuget packages in our projects. So in those kinds of scenarios, would you have any best practices that you can apply on how to deal with such a system in the scope of the entire landscape? My point is that I decide to see query languages as languages, at the same level as PHP, HTML, Javascript or CSS. “Hexagonal architecture” was actually the working name for the “ports and adapters pattern,” which is the term Alistair settled on in the end. It has to be business-logic-y. For example, in my current project we have a port/adapter for our SMS provider because it is easy to do, and the SMS providers compete and change prices often so we want it to be easy to change SMS providers, furthermore we might want different providers per country, so having port/adapters here gives us tremendous flexibility and the trade-offs are extremely positive. Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated! The downside then is that if we want to change the ORM, instead of changing the ORM adapter, we need to implement ALL repositories as they are all adapters. It’s always about trade-offs, so ask your team where are the trade-offs positive if implementing a port/adapter. However, those queries are nothing more than filters, which are built in a programming language like SQL. On the other hand, I see a Kafka Producer as a secondary adapter, since it is “driven”. Allowing Billing to call the interfaces exposed by the User component directly to use your examples. I got the wrong impression that you used this interpretation and therefore expected to have the right side the lollipops pointing to the domain. The code units that connect the tools to the application core are called adapters (Ports & Adapters Architecture). Some examples out there: The use cases are defined in the Application Layer, the first layer provided by DDD and used by the Onion Architecture. That’s why I write these posts, to help me learn. Really nice and well done explanation! The way I see it, a component is not allowed to change data that it does not “own”, but it is fine for it to query and use any data. Last but not least, thanks to my colleague Francesco Mastrogiacomo, for helping me make my infographic look nice. I enjoy implementing solutions based on use cases and decoupled from technology details. The other satellite applications that need to communicate with it, should have their own port&adapter, so that if in the future you need to change it, it will be easier to do. The implementation of the repository is linked to the adapter layer and its specification (interface or contract) must be defined within the application layer. Typically, their role is to: The Command Handlers can be used in two different ways: Which approach to use depends on the context, for example: This layer also contains the triggering of Application Events, which represent some outcome of a use case. Let me introduce the Hexagonal Architecture’s intent:
