Onion Architecture Simplicity
- Don't overcomplicate the onion architecture.
- Focus on the natural stratification of code into actions (top) and calculations (bottom).
Calculations as Decisions
- Calculations often become decisions, requiring data.
- Pass all necessary data to calculations as arguments to avoid database reads within the domain logic.
Web Request Example
- A web request example demonstrates the onion architecture.
- The interaction layer handles actions like receiving requests, validation, database fetching, and sending responses, while the domain layer performs core logic.
