Great article on separation of building units. I hope the name hexagonal architecture doesn’t catch on because it is misleading and the shape doesn’t actually have anything to do with the architecture. As you mention, the architecture can be redrawn as any polygon.

Apparently it has...this was introduced around 2005...ports and adapters pattern was the intended name but now everyone calls it hexagonal. Consider the name as something to remember it by.

Glad you liked the article. 😊
