# Feature-Driven Architecture
## 매 한 줄
> **"매 layer-by-type 의 feature-by-vertical-slice 의 invert"**. Feature-Driven Architecture 매 codebase 의 organization unit 매 feature/use-case — 매 each feature 매 own UI + state + API + tests 의 own. Frontend 매 FSD (Feature-Sliced Design), Backend 매 vertical slice / modular monolith 의 manifest.
## 매 핵심
### 매 Why
- **Layer-by-type problem**: 매 `controllers/`, `services/`, `models/` 매 small project 의 fine, 매 100+ features 시 매 cross-cutting changes 의 5 directories 의 touch.
- **Feature 의 lifecycle**: 매 feature 의 add/remove/own 의 single folder 의 happen.
- **Team scaling**: 매 vertical squad 의 own 매 single feature folder, 매 conflicts 의 minimize.
### 매 FSD layers (frontend)
1. `app/` — global setup, routing, providers.
2. `pages/` — route compositions.
3. `widgets/` — composite UI blocks.
4. `features/` — user actions (login, addToCart).
5. `entities/` — business objects (User, Product).
6. `shared/` — UI kit, utils, API client.
- 매 import rule: 매 upper layer → lower layer only.
### 매 응용
1. Next.js / Remix apps with FSD.
2. Modular monolith — Java/.NET vertical slices.
3. Mobile (RN/Flutter) feature modules.
4. Microfrontend per-feature deployment.
## 💻 패턴
### FSD folder layout
```
src/
├── app/ # providers, router, global styles
├── pages/
│ └── checkout/
│ └── ui/Checkout.tsx
├── widgets/
│ └── header/ui/Header.tsx
├── features/
│ ├── auth-login/
│ │ ├── ui/LoginForm.tsx
│ │ ├── model/store.ts
│ │ ├── api/login.ts
│ │ └── index.ts # public api
│ └── cart-add-item/
├── entities/
│ ├── user/{ui, model, api}/
│ └── product/{ui, model, api}/
└── shared/
├── ui/Button.tsx
└── api/baseQuery.ts
```
### Public API (index.ts barrel)
```typescript
// features/auth-login/index.ts
export { LoginForm } from './ui/LoginForm';
export { useLoginMutation } from './api/login';
// 매 internal model/store 의 not exported — encapsulation
```
### ESLint 의 enforce layer rules
```javascript
// .eslintrc — eslint-plugin-boundaries
module.exports = {
plugins: ['boundaries'],
settings: {
'boundaries/elements': [
{ type: 'app', pattern: 'src/app/*' },
{ type: 'pages', pattern: 'src/pages/*' },
{ type: 'features', pattern: 'src/features/*' },
{ type: 'entities', pattern: 'src/entities/*' },
{ type: 'shared', pattern: 'src/shared/*' },
],
},
rules: {
'boundaries/element-types': ['error', {
default: 'disallow',
rules: [
{ from: 'pages', allow: ['features', 'entities', 'shared'] },
{ from: 'features', allow: ['entities', 'shared'] },
{ from: 'entities', allow: ['shared'] },
],
}],
},
};
```
### Vertical slice (.NET / Node)
```typescript
// features/place-order/handler.ts
export class PlaceOrderCommand {
constructor(public userId: string, public items: Item[]) {}
}
export async function placeOrder(cmd: PlaceOrderCommand, deps: Deps) {
const user = await deps.users.findById(cmd.userId);
if (!user) throw new NotFoundError();
const order = Order.create(user, cmd.items);
await deps.orders.save(order);
await deps.bus.emit('order.placed', { orderId: order.id });
return { orderId: order.id };
}
// features/place-order/route.ts
router.post('/orders', async (req, res) => {
const result = await placeOrder(req.body, deps);
res.json(result);
});
// 매 single folder 매 use-case 의 entire handle
```
### Cross-feature communication via events
```typescript
// features/cart-checkout — 매 features/inventory-update 의 NOT 매 import
// 매 instead: emit event, 매 inventory feature 의 subscribe
import { bus } from '@/shared/event-bus';
async function checkout(cart: Cart) {
await bus.emit('checkout.completed', { items: cart.items });
}
// features/inventory-update/index.ts
bus.on('checkout.completed', async ({ items }) => {
await decrementStock(items);
});
```
### Feature flag boundary
```typescript
// features/new-search-v2/index.ts
import { useFlag } from '@/shared/feature-flags';
import { SearchV1 } from '@/features/search-v1';
import { SearchV2 } from './ui/SearchV2';
export function Search() {
const v2 = useFlag('search-v2');
return v2 ? : ;
}
// Removal 의 single folder delete
```
## 매 결정 기준
| 상황 | Approach |
|---|---|
| Solo / < 10 features | 매 layer-by-type 매 fine |
| Frontend, growing team | 매 FSD |
| Backend, modular monolith | 매 vertical slice (CQRS-style) |
| Microservices | 매 service-per-feature 매 already |
| Strict isolation 의 needed | 매 ESLint boundaries + barrel exports |
**기본값**: 매 frontend 매 FSD, 매 backend 매 vertical slice — 매 cross-feature 의 events.

## 🤖 LLM 활용
**언제**: 매 10+ features, 매 multi-team. Frontend 매 page-driven 의 outgrow. Modular monolith 매 service split 의 prepare.
**언제 X**: 매 small app (<10 screens). 매 prototype phase — 매 over-structure cost > benefit.
## ❌ 안티패턴
- **Cross-feature direct import**: 매 `features/cart` 매 `features/checkout/internal` 의 import — 매 coupling 의 reintroduce. Public API 만 의 use.
- **God shared/**: 매 모든 utility 의 `shared/utils/` 의 dump — 매 entities/features 의 leak 의 should.
- **Premature feature split**: 매 single-screen app 의 7 features 의 carve — 매 navigation cost.
- **Layer skipping**: 매 `entities` 매 `features` 의 import — 매 dependency rule violation.
## 🧪 검증 / 중복
- Verified (feature-sliced.design official; Jimmy Bogard "Vertical Slice Architecture").
- 신뢰도 A.
