Hexagonal Architecture

Hexagonal Architecture, also known as the Ports and Adapters pattern, is a design approach in software development that emphasizes separation of concerns. It organizes the application into distinct layers, allowing the core logic to be independent of external inputs like user interfaces or databases. Think of it as a radio: the core functionality is like the radio mechanism, while the ports and adapters are the various ways to listen—through speakers, headphones, or even streaming. This structure makes applications easier to test, maintain, and adapt to changes without affecting the core functionality.
