Hexagonal Architecture: Ports, Adapters, and Testable Cores
Learn hexagonal architecture through ports, adapters, and inward dependencies, with practical code, trade-offs, failure modes, and security guidance.
Learn hexagonal architecture through ports, adapters, and inward dependencies, with practical code, trade-offs, failure modes, and security guidance.
Refactor toward design patterns safely: follow evidence of change, preserve behavior with tests, and make small transformations before adding an abstraction.
Learn to design object-oriented code around behavior, collaborator boundaries, and stable dependency seams, with practical tests that resist refactoring churn.
Learn how dependency injection makes backend code easier to test, and how to separate shared services from request state without leaking data.
Make backend tests repeatable with controlled clocks, seeded fixtures, isolated databases, and failure-safe cleanup so teams can reproduce CI failures locally.
Learn data validation techniques for catching errors early, defining constraints, and building reliable production data pipelines.
Integrate comprehensive automated testing into your CI/CD pipeline—unit tests, integration tests, end-to-end tests, and quality gates.
Learn how to design and implement CI/CD pipelines for microservices with automated testing, blue-green deployments, and canary releases.
