Experimental Product Domain Based On Hexagonal Architecture Principles

This project is a sample application built using .NET Core. The main goal of this project is implementing and better understanding DDD and hexagonal architecture principles.

Also known as

• Ports and Adapters
• Clean Architecture
• Onion Architecture

Hexagonal architecture

With hexagonal architecture

• Domain layer contains enterprise wide logic and types and does not depend anything except these
• Application layer contains business logic and types
• Infrastructure layer (including persistence, messaging, logging, presentation) contains all external concerns
• Presentation and Infrastructure layers depend only on Application
• Infrastructure dependencies can be replaced with minimal effort. For instance, we can switch data store without touching business code.
