The pillars of safe change
It is now time to implement some solutions for the problems exposed in the previous paragraphs. As discussed, modularizing a monolithic system is an essential first step toward achieving a more flexible and maintainable architecture. Refactoring within this context requires a careful approach that aligns with the principles of modularity and incremental change. Our goal is to decouple tightly interwoven components so that they can evolve independently, reducing the risk of cascading changes and enhancing the system’s overall stability.
Exploring the solution structure
Let’s start by exploring how our project was initially developed by looking at the solution structure inside Visual Studio in Figure 5.3.
Figure 5.3 – The initial solution structure
As you can see, there is a little bit of DDD in it. As you should have already spotted, there is lots of coupling because everything is inside single folders of specific...
