Hexagonal Architecture: Testing and Adaptation Strategies

Explore hexagonal architecture concepts to isolate your core application and domain logic from external systems. Understand how ports and adapters enable easier testing, maintainability, and integration of new interfaces or infrastructure in Golang applications. This lesson equips you with strategies to enhance flexibility and testability in event-driven systems by decoupling dependencies effectively.

Hexagonal architecture applied

Alistair Cockburn invented hexagonal architecture to address the spread of business logic into other unrelated parts of the software. He laid out three factors of this problem:

  • Testing is more difficult when the tests become dependent on the user interface. ...
