Somehow I came across a good example of applied hexagonal architecture in JavaScript, it's César Alberca's blog. He has all the source code on github.

Archijs describes itself as "A package to test javascript architecture".
TL;DR - it is not ready for use yet, I would not.

What advice/rules I may give to junior developers about the Ruby on Rails app design? This article is not only relevant for Rails developers, but also very general. I feel that rails devs need more support here, because Rails makes it especially hard to use magic.

The original article where Alistair Cockburn describes Hexagonal architecture is the best intro and a good read, no matter what year it is.

A podcast with @Sandro Mancuso talking about tech debt and maintainable software. My notes.

I have this book Get Your Hands Dirty on Clean Architecture on my reading list, actually just as an open tab in my browser for a long time now. I just put it down here, maybe I come back to read it. Not sure if it is good and worth the time, but I like the topic and I think it is very relevant to understand this better.

The article Node.js, Dependency Injection, Layered Architecture, and TDD: A Practical Example, Part 1 by @Carlos González gives a very good introduction of how to structure a (TypeScript/JavaScript) app. He links articles that allow one to dive deeper into underlying concepts and still explains the big picture very well. Great job Carlos!
