Question 1
In Clean Architecture and Hexagonal Architecture (Ports and Adapters), what is the core rule regarding source code dependencies across architectural layer boundaries?
Correct Answer:
Dependencies must always point inwards toward higher-level policies and the enterprise business domain (Dependency Rule), meaning domain entities and use cases have zero dependency on UI, database, or frameworks
Question 2
In Domain-Driven Design (DDD), what is the primary distinction between an Entity and a Value Object?
Correct Answer:
An Entity is defined by a persistent unique identity that runs through its entire lifecycle regardless of attribute changes, whereas a Value Object is immutable and defined purely by the equality of its attributes
Question 3
In Domain-Driven Design (DDD), what is an Aggregate Root and what rule governs external object references into the aggregate?
Correct Answer:
An Aggregate Root is the master entity that encapsulates a cluster of associated objects and enforces all business invariants; external objects may only hold references to the Aggregate Root, never to internal child entities
Question 4
When implementing distributed transactions across autonomous microservices, why is the Saga pattern preferred over two-phase commit (2PC / XA transactions)?
Correct Answer:
2PC requires synchronous locking across distributed databases, creating high latency, single points of failure, and scalability bottlenecks; Sagas use a sequence of local transactions with compensating transactions for rollbacks
Question 5
What is the primary purpose of the Transactional Outbox Pattern in microservices architectures?
Correct Answer:
To guarantee atomic execution between database state mutations and publishing domain events to a message broker (e.g., Kafka/RabbitMQ) without distributed dual-write inconsistencies
