Nlayered
Nlayered is a software architecture pattern that organizes an application into N distinct layers, where N is an arbitrary positive integer. It generalizes traditional multilayer or n-tier architectures by allowing any number of layers beyond the conventional three or four. Each layer has a defined responsibility and communicates with the layer directly beneath it through well-defined interfaces, maintaining separation of concerns and enabling modular development and testing.
Typical layers include a presentation layer for user interfaces, an application or service layer that coordinates
Key characteristics of Nlayered include explicit boundaries, dependency direction from higher to lower layers, and the
When applying Nlayered, teams should define clear responsibilities for each layer, establish stable interfaces, apply dependency
Nlayered is closely related to other architectural patterns such as layered architecture and n-tier architecture, and
