1 min read
Summary
This article discusses how to write clean, maintainable, and testable code in Node.js using Hexagonal Architecture, also known as Ports and Adapters.
It claims that employing this architectural style principles allows you to construct applications that won’t buckle under complicated situations.
The article provides a quick overview of how to think of your application as a hexagon surrounded by adapters that communicate with the core through ports.
It then discusses some of the benefits of using this approach, such as the ability to test your application without having to interact with external services and the ability to easily switch out databases or APIs without having to rewrite the logic.
