Vertical Slice Architecture vs. Layered Architectures
- Vertical Slice Architecture, popularized by Jimmy Bogard, contrasts with layered architectures like Clean Architecture.
- It prioritizes organizing code around use cases or CQRS commands/queries over horizontal layers.
Organizing Code in Vertical Slices
- Organize code around use cases, minimizing shared logic between slices.
- Focus on the entire request process, from input to output (e.g., a web request).
Direct Data Access over Repositories
- Utilize data persistence tools directly (e.g., EF Core's DbContext, Marten's IDocumentStore) instead of defaulting to repository layers.
- This allows leveraging the full power of your database tooling.
