Architecture Comparisons
verikt supports four architecture patterns. Choosing between them depends on your team’s experience, the complexity of your business logic, and how strictly you want to enforce dependency boundaries.
| Pair | Best when… |
|---|---|
| Hexagonal vs Clean | You want strict layering but need to decide between ports/adapters or entities/use-cases |
| Hexagonal vs Layered | You need dependency rules but want to evaluate how much structure is right |
| Hexagonal vs Flat | You’re deciding between a full production service and a simple tool |
| Clean vs Layered | You want layered architecture and are choosing between strict DDD and the classic three-tier |
| Clean vs Flat | You’re evaluating whether your project needs any layering at all |
| Layered vs Flat | You need a simple structure and are deciding how much to formalize it |
