Confessions of a Backend Developer

When it comes to PHP architectures and frameworks everybody is always talking about Model–View–Controller (MVC), or sometimes Action–Domain–Responder (ADR). Close attention is usually paid to the Views and Controllers, as well as the whole bootstrapping required to make them work, while the Model is left as an exercise to the user. This makes perfect sense from an open source point of view, as the model is always domain specific. That is exactly why most work in closed source projects—like trivago—concentrates on that part. We will discuss the Clean Architecture, which helps us to manage dependency hell in the domain model. We will further explore Domain-Driven Design (DDD) basics, like value objects and entities, which help us to reason about the various sub-layers of the domain model. Finally, we will have a brief look at how we can use types (read classes) to provide us with certain guarantees.
