Definition A system creates a "Boundary" between the application code and external services. ## 2. Ports (Interfaces) Owned by the Core. Defines **what** the system needs. ## 3. Adapters (Implementations) Owned by the Infrastructure. Defines **how** to talk to a specific technology. ## 4. Benefit Total decoupling. We can swap a Database or a Third-party API without changing a line of Business Logic.
