Architecture Patterns

Master proven backend architecture patterns including Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture, and Domain-Driven Design to build maintainable, testable, and scalable systems.

When to Use This Skill

• Designing new backend systems from scratch
• Refactoring monolithic applications for better maintainability
• Establishing architecture standards for your team
• Migrating from tightly coupled to loosely coupled architectures
• Implementing domain-driven design principles
• Creating testable and mockable codebases
• Planning microservices decomposition

Core Concepts

1. Clean Architecture (Uncle Bob)

Layers (dependency flows inward):

• Entities: Core business models
• Use Cases: Application business rules
• Interface Adapters: Controllers, presenters, gateways
• Frameworks & Drivers: UI, database, external services

Key Principles:

• Dependencies point inward
• Inner layers know nothing about outer layers
• Business logic independent of frameworks
• Testable without UI, database, or external services

2. Hexagonal Architecture (Ports and Adapters)

Components:

• Domain Core: Business logic
• Ports: Interfaces defining interactions
• Adapters: Implementations of ports (database, REST, message queue)

Benefits:

• Swap implementations easily (mock for testing)
• Technology-agnostic core
• Clear separation of concerns

3. Domain-Driven Design (DDD)

Strategic Patterns:

• Bounded Contexts: Separate models for different domains
• Context Mapping: How contexts relate
• Ubiquitous Language: Shared terminology

Tactical Patterns:

• Entities: Objects with identity
• Value Objects: Immutable objects defined by attributes
• Aggregates: Consistency boundaries
• Repositories: Data access abstraction
• Domain Events: Things that happened

Implementation Example

        self.is_active = False

    def can_place_order(self) -> bool:
        """Business rule: active users can order."""
        return self.is_active

# domain/interfaces/user_repository.py
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
from typing import Optional

class IUserRepository(ABC):
    """Port: defines contract, no implementation."""

    @abstractmethod
    async def find_by_id(self, user_id: str) -> Optional[User]:
        pass

    @abstractmethod
    async def save(self, user: User) -> User:
        pass

from dataclasses import dataclass
import uuid
from datetime import datetime

@dataclass
class CreateUserRequest:
    email: str

    def __init__(self, user_repository: IUserRepository):
        self.user_repository = user_repository

    async def execute(self, request: CreateUserRequest) -> CreateUserResponse:
        # Business validation
        existing = await self.user_repository.find_by_email(request.email)
        if existing:

Hexagonal Architecture Pattern

# Core domain (hexagon center)
class OrderService:
    """Domain service - no infrastructure dependencies."""

    def __init__(
        self,
        order_repository: OrderRepositoryPort,
        payment_gateway: PaymentGatewayPort,
        notification_service: NotificationPort
    ):
        self.orders = order_repository
        self.payments = payment_gateway
        self.notifications = notification_service

    async def place_order(self, order: Order) -> OrderResult:
        # Business logic
        if not order.is_valid():
            return OrderResult(success=False, error="Invalid order")

        # Use ports (interfaces)
        payment = await self.payments.charge(amount=order.total, customer=order.customer_id)

        if not payment.success:
            return OrderResult(success=False, error="Payment failed")

        order.mark_as_paid()
        saved_order = await self.orders.save(order)

        await self.notifications.send(
            to=order.customer_email,
            subject="Order confirmed",
            body=f"Order {order.id} confirmed"
        )

        return OrderResult(success=True, order=saved_order)

# Adapters
class StripePaymentAdapter(PaymentGatewayPort):
    """Primary adapter: connects to Stripe API."""
    async def charge(self, amount: Money, customer: str) -> PaymentResult:
        # Implementation

class MockPaymentAdapter(PaymentGatewayPort):
    """Test adapter: no external dependencies."""
    async def charge(self, amount: Money, customer: str) -> PaymentResult:
        return PaymentResult(success=True, transaction_id="mock-123")

Domain-Driven Design Pattern

# Value Objects (immutable)
@dataclass(frozen=True)
class Email:
    value: str

    def __post_init__(self):
        if "@" not in self.value:
            raise ValueError("Invalid email")

@dataclass(frozen=True)
class Money:
    amount: int  # cents
    currency: str

    def add(self, other: "Money") -> "Money":
        if self.currency != other.currency:
            raise ValueError("Currency mismatch")
        return Money(self.amount + other.amount, self.currency)

# Entities (with identity)
class Order:
    def __init__(self, id: str, customer: Customer):
        self.id = id
        self.customer = customer
        self.items: List[OrderItem] = []
        self.status = OrderStatus.PENDING
        self._events: List[DomainEvent] = []

    def add_item(self, product: Product, quantity: int):
        item = OrderItem(product, quantity)
        self.items.append(item)
        self._events.append(ItemAddedEvent(self.id, item))

    def submit(self):
        if not self.items:
            raise ValueError("Cannot submit empty order")
        self.status = OrderStatus.SUBMITTED
        self._events.append(OrderSubmittedEvent(self.id))

# Aggregates (consistency boundary)
class Customer:
    def __init__(self, id: str, email: Email):
        self.id = id
        self.email = email
        self._addresses: List[Address] = []

    def add_address(self, address: Address):
        if len(self._addresses) >= 5:
            raise ValueError("Maximum 5 addresses allowed")
        self._addresses.append(address)

Best Practices

1. Dependency Rule: Dependencies always point inward
2. Interface Segregation: Small, focused interfaces
3. Business Logic in Domain: Keep frameworks out of core
4. Test Independence: Core testable without infrastructure
5. Bounded Contexts: Clear domain boundaries
6. Ubiquitous Language: Consistent terminology
7. Thin Controllers: Delegate to use cases
8. Rich Domain Models: Behavior with data

Common Pitfalls

• Anemic Domain: Entities with only data, no behavior
• Framework Coupling: Business logic depends on frameworks
• Fat Controllers: Business logic in controllers
• Repository Leakage: Exposing ORM objects
• Missing Abstractions: Concrete dependencies in core
• Over-Engineering: Clean architecture for simple CRUD
