Author Description

Recommended by giants like Netflix and Amazon, the Hexagonal or Ports & Adapters architecture simplifies testing, protects against business logic leakage, supports changing technologies in long-running system, and lets you apply Domain Driven Design. In this definitive book on the subject, pattern author Dr. Alistair Cockburn and Juan Manuel Garrido de Paz lay bare all of the intricacies of the pattern, providing sample code and answering your many frequently asked questions. "Looking at the screen of my laptop, I realized that it was full of code that didn't let me understand what it did regarding business logic. From that moment I began to search until I discovered the architecture that decouples the business logic from the frameworks: Hexagonal Architecture, more correctly called Ports & Adapters. From that moment until now, I haven't stopped reading and learning about this pattern." "I just wanted to say thank you for hexagonal architecture. Making changes to the services we hexagonalized properly feels really good and easy. The same changes kept giving us headaches in other services." -- Michael Kutz "We finally have an authoritative reference guide to the pattern. it is a very complete and detailed work. You can consider it a must-have reference both theoretically and practically." -- Fran Iglesias Gómez
