Welcome to Machanism
Machanism is a modular development platform designed to create, share, and integrate reusable components, or "bricks," for solving complex application challenges across diverse business domains and technologies. By adhering to Clean Architecture1 principles, Machanism ensures scalability, adaptability, and maintainability, with a strict focus on separating business logic from implementation details. At its core, Machanism leverages Seed Projects to define foundational libraries, workflows, and interfaces, while enabling customization through Applications and deployment via MachaOn Projects. Each project outputs artifacts that are managed through dependencies, ensuring modularity without tight coupling. Guided by the mantra "Divide and Use," Machanism empowers developers to create systems that are flexible, reusable, and built to evolve.
Audience
The Machanism user audience includes software developers, architects, and technical teams who prioritize modularity, reusability, and scalability in their application development workflows. It is ideal for professionals working on complex systems across a variety of business domains, including e-commerce, finance, logistics, and healthcare, who need a robust platform for building and integrating reusable components. Machanism is particularly suited for teams embracing Clean Architecture principles, microservices, or modular monoliths, and those seeking to streamline development with artifact-driven dependencies rather than tightly coupled repositories. By enabling collaboration across teams and technologies, Machanism appeals to both small startups looking for flexibility and large enterprises requiring maintainable, scalable solutions. It’s built for anyone committed to delivering high-quality, adaptable software systems that evolve with business needs.
Rules
The main rules for Machanism projects focus on ensuring reusability, modularity, and maintainability across all components. Each project must deliver a functional artifact that solves a specific problem and can be seamlessly reused as a dependency. Relative paths are forbidden, and all dependencies must come from a centralized artifact repository, ensuring independence and clean versioning between modules. Projects must follow Clean Architecture principles, maintaining clear boundaries by separating business logic from infrastructure or framework-specific details. Components are organized into Core, Application, and MachaOn layers, with the Core providing shared logic, Applications customizing workflows, and MachaOn facilitating deployment. The guiding mantra, "Divide and Use," ensures that each part is independent yet interoperable within a larger system, creating scalable and future-proof solutions.
The Architecture
The architecture for Machanism projects is rooted in Clean Architecture principles, ensuring scalability, maintainability, and adaptability. At its heart, the architecture is designed to separate business logic (Core layer) from application-specific workflows (Applications layer) and deployment orchestration (MachaOn layer). Core Projects house the reusable entities, use case interactors, and adapters, serving as the foundation for any system. Application Projects act as the customization layer, adapting Core components for specific deployments or business needs. Finally, MachaOn Projects integrate and compose Core and Applications bricks, injecting infrastructure rules to create deployable solutions for environments like standalone systems, cloud-native platforms, or Function-as-a-Service (FaaS). This architecture supports modular design, artifact-driven dependencies, and flexibility across various technologies and frameworks, enabling systems to evolve seamlessly while adhering to the Machanism mantra: "Divide and Use."
