Code Architectures

At Wisemen, we adopt two primary architectural paradigms to design and build robust, scalable, and maintainable software systems: MACH and Vertical Slice Architecture.

MACH Architecture

MACH stands for Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, and Headless.

By designing API-first, we ensure seamless communication between services and facilitate external integrations, making our systems highly interoperable. The cloud-native aspect leverages modern cloud infrastructure to ensure scalability and cost-efficiency, while the headless principle decouples the backend from the frontend, offering greater flexibility in delivering content across multiple platforms.

Vertical Slice Architecture

Vertical Slice Architecture structures applications around business capabilities instead of technical layers, such as controllers or services. Each "slice" is a self-contained unit, encompassing everything needed to fulfill a specific feature or requirement—from the database to the user interface.

By aligning code organization with business functionality, Vertical Slice Architecture enables teams to focus on delivering value without being bogged down by cross-cutting concerns.
