architecture-paradigm-hexagonal

Employ the Hexagonal (Ports & Adapters) pattern to decouple domain logic frominfrastructure, maximizing flexibility and testability.Triggers: hexagonal architecture, ports and adapters, infrastructure independence,dependency inversion, clean architecture, domain isolation, adapter pattern,infrastructure abstraction, database independence, framework independenceUse when: designing systems with strong business logic separation, anticipatinginfrastructure changes, needing easy mocking for tests, building portable domain codeDO NOT use when: selecting from multiple paradigms - use architecture-paradigms first.DO NOT use when: building simple CRUD apps without complex domain logic.Consult this skill when implementing hexagonal patterns or migrating to port-based design.
