Hexagonal architecture is an architectural pattern introduced by Alistair Cockburn and written on his blog in 2005. The main idea is to structure the application so that we can develop and test it in isolation from external tools and technologies. This is how Cockburn himself describes the architecture in one sentence: Allow an application to equally be driven by users, programs, automated test or batch scripts, and to be developed and tested in isolation from its eventual run-time devices and databases. – Alistair Cockburn, 2005 In this article, we will look at some problems faced with traditional software projects. We will then learn about hexagonal architecture and how it tries to address those problems. We will also look at some implementation details and options for testing. Before going into details about hexagonal architecture, let’s look at some typical problems we might face with large-scale applications. On the front-end, business logic of the application ends up leaking into
