Rate this book
Future-proof your Python projects by creating flexible code that adapts to changing requirements with the help of this hands-on guide to achieving Clean Architecture

Key FeaturesLearn Clean Architecture through a series of real-world, code-centric examples and exercisesOptimize system componentization, significantly reducing maintenance burden and overall complexityApply Clean Architecture concepts confidently to new Python projects and legacy code refactoringPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookBook DescriptionIn the rapidly evolving tech industry, software applications struggle to keep pace with changing business needs, leaving developers grappling with complex codebases that resist change, ultimately reducing productivity and increasing technical debt. Clean Architecture with Python offers a powerful approach to address these challenges. Drawing from his extensive experience architecting cloud-native systems, Sam Keen helps you transform complex architectural challenges into digestible, implementable solutions.

This book teaches essential principles for effective development, emphasizing the Pythonic implementation of Clean Architecture. Through practical examples, you'll learn how to create modular, loosely coupled systems that are easy to understand, modify, and extend. The book covers key concepts such as the Dependency Rule, separation of concerns, and domain modeling, all tailored for Python development.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to apply Clean Architecture principles effectively in your Python projects. Whether you're building new systems or managing existing ones, you'll have the skills to create more maintainable and adaptable applications. This approach will enhance your ability to respond to changing requirements, setting you up for long-term success in your development career.

What you will learnApply Clean Architecture principles idiomatically in PythonImplement domain-driven design to isolate core business logicApply SOLID principles in a Pythonic context to improve code qualityStructure projects for maintainability and ease of modificationDevelop testing techniques for cleanly architected Python applicationsRefactor legacy Python code to adhere to Clean Architecture principlesDesign scalable APIs and web applications using Clean ArchitectureWho this book is forIf you're a Python developer struggling with maintaining and extending complex codebases, this book is for you. It's ideal for intermediate developers looking to enhance their architectural skills as well as senior developers seeking to formalize their knowledge of Clean Architecture in Python. While beginners can benefit, prior experience with Python and object-oriented programming is recommended.

I recently read Clean Architecture with Python by Sam Keen, and it brilliantly brings to life Uncle Bob’s Clean Architecture principles in Python.

What’s inside:

The principles and benefits of Clean Architecture — a concentric layered approach where the outer (user-facing) layers make requests to the inner (business-logic) layers.

SOLID principles that fully support the foundation of Clean Architecture.

Tightly knit explanations with clear, practical code samples — including a full implementation of a task management productivity app to illustrate clean design in action.

A step-by-step process for arriving at such an architecture, with one step dedicated to each layer.

What makes it more interesting:

The clarity of description and thoughtful refactoring examples that explain the design choices.

Strategic revisiting of architecture milestones with diagrams and reasoning.

Observability made obvious, producing low-noise, high-signal logs.

Architectural integrity tests to ensure adaptability and maintainability.

A valuable chapter on Architectural Leadership, offering foresight and tools to grow one’s career.

The publication features a clean layout, well-organized content, and a detailed reference index — making it a great go-to reference where each reread adds new depth and understanding.

Highly recommended for developers and software architects looking to write clean, maintainable, and scalable Python applications.
