Note: Key takeaways in this guide: • Separate pure business rules from web controllers and database ORMs. • Apply Dependency Inversion to mock database repositories cleanly in unit tests. • Build software that adapts easily when business requirements shift.

Tying your core business logic directly into framework-specific controllers or ORM models creates massive technical debt. If you ever need to change frameworks or run logic in a background worker, you are forced into painful rewrites.

1. The Dependency Inversion Principle

High-level business rules should never depend on low-level database queries or HTTP libraries. Both should depend on abstract interfaces defined by the core domain.

Summary & Key Conclusion

Decoupled domain architecture keeps software agile, maintainable, and thoroughly testable over years of iteration.
