Summary
In this chapter, we introduced Clean Architecture at a high level and its relevance to Python development. We gave you context by exploring the evolution of software architecture, from Waterfall to Agile, highlighting persistent challenges in managing complexity, accommodating change, and maintaining long-term productivity.
We introduced Clean Architecture’s core principles:
- Separation of concerns (SoC)
- Independence of external details
- Testability and maintainability
We examined Clean Architecture’s general structure, from core entities and use cases to outer layers of interface adapters, frameworks, and drivers, emphasizing how this structure promotes maintainability and flexibility. We discussed the benefits of Clean Architecture, including improved adaptability, enhanced testability, and long-term development agility, and how it complements modern development practices such as Agile and DevOps.
Furthermore, we explored...
