   Hi! This blog post, which I wrote recently, may clear up some question marks: https://medium.com/@joakimtengstrand/understanding-polylith-...

   In Clojure you put your functions in namespaces (sometimes named modules or packages in other languages). In an object oriented language you put your classes in namespaces too, but the way you would implement Polylith in an OO language is t

   Yes, one way of making two projects slightly different is to have two different versions of the same interface (all components expose an interface and they only know about interfaces) and then use different components in the two project (th

   Polylith targets the backend, so I will concentrate my answer around that. I agree that good APIs are important. Polylith helps you with sharing code because it's built around "movable"/decoupled bricks that can be reuse

   You can get an idea by looking at the Production systems page ( https://polylith.gitbook.io/polylith/conclusion/production-s... ) where each column in the first diagram is a project (deployable artifact / servi

   When you start a Polylith codebase from scratch, you can start implementing your business logic and your components before you have even decided how to execute the code in production. The components can talk directly to each other and you o

   Hi and thanks for your feedback! - The Code City project is a cool way of visualising code and the idea was to show how we normally organise code today, and what problems it creates (development experience + sharing). I agree I could have b

   We have a similar question in the FAQ, so I just copied the Q/A here ( https://polylith.gitbook.io/polylith/conclusion/faq )! Question: What parts of Polylith are important and what are just “cermony”? Answer:

    I would say it's up to you to decide what you think works best, as long as the bases only contain the code needed to expose the public API and then you divide the rest of the code into components. The good thing with Polylith is that i

    "Normal" good software design takes you a bit, but it doesn't give you LEGO-like building blocks, and it will still be hard to share code between services. Polylith gives you a single development experience that you would not

    Hi and thanks for showing interest in Polylith. - The main idea is to allow bricks (as we call the "LEGO bricks" - components and bases) to be put together into projects from where we generate artifacts (libraries, tools and diffe

    There is no company behind Polylith, just me (Joakim Tengstrand), Furkan Bayraktar and James Trunk.

    If you liked the old version, I don't think the new one will disappoint you! Please reach out to us ( https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C013B7MQHJQ ) and say what you think.

    Thanks for your feedback. Did you see the sub-heading at the top of the first page: “Polylith is a software architecture that applies functional thinking at the system scale. It helps us build simple, maintainable, testable, and scalable ba

    The Polylith team has just released a big update to the Polylith architecture. Now it's even simpler to grow software out of composable LEGO-like building blocks. The whole team is here to answer your questions.
