The search for simpler code while having fun.
In the Hexagonal architecture, we start with the application core, and let that grow over time. Polylith starts at another end, with the bricks, where each brick does one thing, and if we want to do one more thing, then we create another brick.

If you are a fan of the Hexagonal architecture, also known as Ports & Adapters, we think you’ll love the way Polylith turns your system into fine-grained Lego-like bricks!

Writing software is hard.
There are so many things to deal with, so many moving parts and things that can go wrong that it is easy to get lost. It's not only about building the right thing, but also about building the thing right.

Today I'm proud to announce a new software architecture, called Polylith!1
I hope that Polylith can have a positive affect on the software industry, by focusing on simplicity and developer happiness and efficiency.

Note: The Micro Monolith architecture has been replaced by the Polylith architecture, which has abandoned symbolic links and dependency injection in favor of simple configuration.

Writing quality software, with thousands or millions of lines of code, is probably one of the most challenging and complex tasks you can undertake. Here I will present an alternative, amazingly simple way of modularising software, complete with code examples in Java and Clojure!
