Apply Clean Architecture by providing a service boundary to produce a layered, testable design with clear separation and defined interfaces. It guides you in structuring backend systems using proven patterns to ensure maintainability and testable boundaries.

Refactoring a monolith using Domain-Driven Design involves enforcing bounded contexts across microservices. This technique separates complex domains into defined interfaces and testable boundaries, ensuring scalable and maintainable software architecture.

Hexagonal Architecture enforces testable boundaries by applying ports and adapters to isolate the application core from external concerns. This mechanism ensures clear layer separation and defined interfaces, allowing backend systems to scale without complex dependencies.

You need bounded contexts when refactoring a monolith or scaling microservices to enforce clear domain boundaries. This process defines specific interfaces and testable layers, preventing dependency cycles and solving complexity in distributed backend systems.

Yes, you can debug dependency cycles by applying Domain-Driven Design patterns to establish bounded contexts. This enforces clear layer separation and defined interfaces, resolving architectural cycles and ensuring testable boundaries within your backend systems.

A limitation of Clean Architecture is the overhead of maintaining strict layer separation and multiple interfaces for simple applications. It is most effective when solving the complexity of building scalable software, rather than for trivial, small-scale backend services.
