Designing Hexagonal Architecture with Java

Why Hexagonal Architecture?

Software that’s not well organized and lacks sound software architecture principles may work just fine but develop technical debt over time. As new features are added, the software may become more complex to maintain because there is no common ground to guide code changes. Based on that problem, this chapter explains how hexagonal architecture helps to build software prepared to accommodate changes from unexpected requirements and, by doing so, allows us to increase software maintainability and keep technical debt under control.

We tackle the technical debt problem that arises when shortcuts are taken to overcome the difficulty of introducing changes caused by an inflexible software architecture. We will see how hexagonal architecture helps us improve maintainability by providing the principles to decouple the business logic (code that should purely represent a business problem) from the technology code (code that integrates the system with different technologies such as databases, messaging queues, and external APIs to support the business logic).

I have seen systems developed with business logic closely related to the technology code. Some of those systems would rarely change, so the coupling between business logic and technology code would never be a problem. However, significant refactorings would be necessary for other systems where the requirements would change often and substantially. That was because the business logic was so tightly coupled with the technology code that rewriting the business logic was the only plausible solution.

Using hexagonal architecture may help you to save time and effort due to the software rewrites caused by such scenarios where requirements change often and significantly.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Reviewing software architecture
  • Understanding hexagonal architecture

By the end of this chapter, you will have learned about the main concepts of hexagonal architecture: entities, use cases, ports, and adapters. Also, you’ll know the basic techniques to start applying hexagonal principles in your projects.

Key benefits

  • Use hexagonal architecture to increase maintainability and reduce technical debt
  • Learn how to build systems that are easy to change and understand
  • Leverage Quarkus to create modern cloud-native applications
  • Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Description

We live in a fast-evolving world with new technologies emerging every day, where enterprises are constantly changing in an unending quest to be more profitable. So, the question arises — how to develop software capable of handling a high level of unpredictability. With this question in mind, this book explores how the hexagonal architecture can help build robust, change-tolerable, maintainable, and cloud-native applications that can meet the needs of enterprises seeking to increase their profits while dealing with uncertainties. This book starts by uncovering the secrets of the hexagonal architecture’s building blocks, such as entities, use cases, ports, and adapters. You’ll learn how to assemble business code in the domain hexagon, create features with ports and use cases in the application hexagon, and make your software compatible with different technologies by employing adapters in the framework hexagon. In this new edition, you’ll learn about the differences between a hexagonal and layered architecture and how to apply SOLID principles while developing a hexagonal system based on a real-world scenario. Finally, you’ll get to grips with using Quarkus to turn your hexagonal application into a cloud-native system. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to develop robust, flexible, and maintainable systems that will stand the test of time.

Who is this book for?

This book is for software architects and Java developers looking to improve code maintainability and enhance productivity with an architecture that allows changes in technology without compromising business logic. Intermediate knowledge of the Java programming language and familiarity with Jakarta EE will help you to get the most out of this book.

What you will learn

  • Apply SOLID principles to the hexagonal architecture
  • Assemble business rules algorithms using the specified design pattern
  • Combine domain-driven design techniques with hexagonal principles to create powerful domain models
  • Employ adapters to enable system compatibility with various protocols such as REST, gRPC, and WebSocket
  • Create a module and package structure based on hexagonal principles
  • Use Java modules to enforce dependency inversion and ensure software component isolation
  • Implement Quarkus DI to manage the life cycle of input and output ports

The book takes you on a journey through the intricacies of hexagonal architecture. One of the book's standout features is its clear explanation of the hexagonal architecture's fundamental elements, such as entities, use cases, ports, and adapters. The author walks you through each component, demonstrating how to structure your code to achieve maximum maintainability and flexibility. The real-world scenario examples are a valuable addition, offering practical insights into applying SOLID principles within a hexagonal context.

This book covers the ports and adapters pattern, also referred to as hexagonal architecture, using Java and Quarkus. The book provides a clear and detailed introduction into this architecture. There are sufficient examples throughout the book to help us understand how to use hexagon applications and how to build the hexagon framework. There is a section that covers how to use Quarkus for a modernized approach. Overall, a great read!

Why, on earth, in this book input ports implement use cases, not the other way around?I highly recommend another book on this topic: "Get Your Hands Dirty on Clean Architecture, Java, 2nd Edition". That one is up to the point with many practical insights. Or just read some articles by the creator of Hexagonal Architecture.I got nothing from the superficial rendering of many subjects (DDD, Hexagonal, Quarkus) in this book.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
