Answer from AI

Clean architecture is an approach to software design that divides the system into layers with clear dependencies and responsibilities. The main ideas:

  • Layer separation: Business rules (Entities) are at the center, surrounded by Use Cases (interactors), then interfaces (e.g., UI, databases).

  • Dependencies point inward: External layers depend on internal ones, but not vice versa. This allows changing the UI or database without affecting business logic.

  • Dependency inversion: Internal layers are unaware of the implementation details of external layers; interaction occurs through abstractions (interfaces).

  • Testability: Thanks to separation and abstractions, business logic is easy to test independently.

Example: In Python, you can define a repository interface and implement it separately from the business logic that uses this interface, without knowing the details of data storage.
