Clean Architecture provides a structured approach to software development that promotes separation of concerns and increases the maintainability, testability, and flexibility of applications. By applying principles such as Dependency Inversion and Separation of Concerns, an architecture is created that can easily adapt to changes.
Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and switch to the 360° assessment when needed.
Theoretical construct: explains a term, principle, or mental model.
What organizes, connects, or makes decisions possible.
Clean Architecture structures software so that business rules remain independent of the UI, database and infrastructure.
Robert C. Martin consolidated the approach in his 2017 book Clean Architecture. He connected earlier layered, hexagonal and onion architectures and expressed the Dependency Rule as a guiding principle.
Picture an onion: stable business rules sit at the core, while replaceable technical adapters live on the outside.
Dependencies point inward toward stable business rules rather than outward technical details.
Teams isolate databases, frameworks and interfaces behind ports and test business logic independently.
The approach keeps business changes decoupled from technical replacement decisions.
