Forze is an infrastructure toolkit for building backend services with Domain-Driven Design and Hexagonal Architecture.
It provides a set of reusable primitives, contracts, and structural patterns that help organize backend applications into clear, maintainable layers.
Forze aims to support backend systems that are:
- Layered — clear separation between domain, application, and infrastructure
- Explicit — well-defined ports, adapters, and boundaries
- Testable — components can be tested in isolation
- Composable — infrastructure pieces can be replaced or extended
- Framework-agnostic — the core does not depend on a specific framework
The library focuses on providing structure and contracts, not a full-stack framework.
