Understanding observability boundaries in Clean Architecture
Clean Architecture’s explicit layer perimeters provide natural points for system observation which is a significant advantage that many teams overlook. While layered architectures can introduce complexity, these same divisions that help manage dependencies also enable systematic monitoring and observability. Let’s first explore how Clean Architecture’s fundamental principles create opportunities for better system instrumentation, setting the foundation for the practical implementations we’ll explore later. By understanding these concepts, you’ll see how Clean Architecture makes systems not only more maintainable but also more observable.
Natural observation points in Clean Architecture
Clean Architecture’s layered structure naturally creates strategic points for system observation. Before exploring these observation points, let’s understand what we mean by observability...
