In this video, SSW Software Engineer Sam Maher walks you through the benefits of Vertical Slice Architecture over the traditional Clean Architecture approach. He explains the pitfalls of clean architecture’s fragmented layering and how vertical slicing brings cohesion and ease of development. Plus, Sam demos SSW’s custom-built Vertical Slice Architecture (VSA) template that streamlines your project setup with Aspire, Scala, strongly typed IDs, and more. Perfect for developers who want to start fast, stay organised, and scale smart.
