Clean Architecture separates concerns into distinct layers to keep domain logic independent of frameworks. This guide provides a compact reference for structuring these layers, defining domain boundaries, and applying naming conventions in NestJS services.

To identify domain events in event-driven systems, you model significant state changes within bounded contexts. This guide offers recommended practices for naming these events and structuring event-driven communication across architectural boundaries.

The best way to structure a new NestJS service with Domain-Driven Design is to codify core patterns and define strict domain boundaries. This reference helps teams align quickly on DDD patterns, architectural trade-offs, and consistent guidelines.

Yes, this architecture guidance applies to both designing new NestJS projects and refactoring existing architectures. It covers framework-agnostic patterns, testing approaches, and event-driven communication to help teams document rationale and align.

Clean Architecture may introduce unnecessary overhead for small or simple projects that do not require strict domain boundaries. This guide helps evaluate architectural trade-offs and decide when layered architecture adds genuine value versus unnecessary complexity.

You document architectural decisions by codifying core patterns, recommended practices, and concrete examples. This guide serves as a practical reference to help teams align quickly on layers, events, and testing approaches while recording rationale.
