Is this skill suitable for microservices?

Absolutely. These patterns are foundational for microservices, helping you define clear bounded contexts and maintainable service boundaries.

Which architecture patterns does this skill support?

This skill provides guidance and implementation patterns for Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture (also known as Ports and Adapters), and Domain-Driven Design (DDD).

How does this skill improve code testability?

By enforcing a strict separation between core business logic and external dependencies (like databases or APIs), it allows you to easily swap infrastructure for mocks during testing.

Can I use this for existing projects or only new ones?

It is designed for both. It includes specific patterns for refactoring tightly coupled legacy code into more modular, loosely coupled architectures.

API Development

Implements robust architectural patterns like Clean Architecture and Domain-Driven Design to build maintainable and scalable backend systems.

About

This skill empowers developers to architect high-quality backend systems using industry-proven patterns including Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture (Ports and Adapters), and Domain-Driven Design (DDD). It provides standardized directory structures, implementation templates, and strategic guidance for separating business logic from infrastructure concerns. By following these patterns, developers can ensure their codebases are easily testable, technology-agnostic, and prepared for long-term maintenance and growth, making it an essential tool for both greenfield projects and complex legacy refactors.

Key Features

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) tactical patterns for entities and value objects

Implementation of Hexagonal Architecture with defined Ports and Adapters
Dependency management rules for framework-independent business logic
Standardized directory structures for layered architectures
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Establishing consistent architectural standards and ubiquitous language for a development team
Refactoring a monolithic application into a loosely coupled, maintainable structure
Designing a new microservice with high testability and scalability requirements
