Hexagonal Architecture in Java

The document discusses hexagonal architecture, which is a software pattern where the business domain is isolated and not dependent on external elements. All external interactions are through ports, and outside adapters are responsible for implementing those ports. At the core is the domain model containing business rules and services. Ports define actions that external adapters perform, like uploading files. Hexagonal architecture works well with domain-driven design by isolating the domain and building upon it while keeping technologies agnostic.

HEXAGONAL ARCHITECTURE

PORTS AND ADAPTERS

1
INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS IT?

• It’s a software building pattern


• Preaches that your business
domain should not care about
anything that’s not part of
business rules
• Everything that needs input
from the “outside” world is
exposed as a port
• The outside world adapt this
port to it’s implementation

HEXAGONAL ARCHITECTURE

A VIEW

• At the center of our architecture


we have our Domain model
 Our domain model contains
our business rules, models
and domain services
• Everything that need interaction
with the outside world is
exposed as a “Port”
 The port defines one action
that should be done by an
external adapter, eg:
“ClassifyDocument”,
“UploadFileToDrm”
 We have input and output
ports

HEXAGONAL ARCHITECTURE

H.A + DDD = S2

• Hexagonal Architecture and


Domain Driven Design are
made for each other
• Isolate your domain, build upon
it
• Strive for agnostic technologies
