Hexagonal Architecture
System Analysis
Normal Behavior
A software architecture that aims to create loosely coupled application components.
Failure Behavior
May drop requests or fallback to degraded mode under load.
Business Consequence
A flawed implementation of the hexagonal ports-and-adapters paradigm creates a spaghetti nightmare of interface bloat, completely paralyzing the engineering velocity and making the codebase impossible to maintain or audit.
Visual Manifestation
"An IDE window bursting with thirty different heavily abstracted Java interfaces for a service that literally just writes a string to a database."
Satirical Behavior
"A theoretical purity exercise where engineers write 5,000 lines of adapter interfaces to protect themselves from changing a database they will literally never change."
