Architectural Decision Record (ADR) for Payment System Boundary
Context
The goal is to define a robust architecture for the payment processing system within our application. This system will handle various payment methods and ensure the accuracy and security of transactions.
Decision
We have decided to establish clear boundaries between different components of the payment system, particularly between the controller, service, repository, domain, and integration layers. This separation will enhance maintainability and scalability.
Alternatives
- Keeping all payment logic within the controller layer (rejected due to tight coupling and low maintainability).
- Using a monolithic approach without clear boundaries (rejected for potential scalability issues).
Consequences
Implementing this decision will require careful adherence to the boundaries to ensure no direct dependencies occur between layers, thus preserving the integrity and independence of each component. This might introduce some initial overhead, but will pay off in the long run with a cleaner architecture.
