## [](https://dev.to/william_464cb873/clean-architecture-1p3e#introdu%C3%A7%C3%A3o) Introdução

Este artigo tem como objetivo explicar os conceitos da arquitetura de software proposta por Robert Cecil Martin (ou Uncle Bob). Ela procura resolver problemas de acoplamento, baixa testabilidade e alta dependência de frameworks ou bancos de dados, por meio de princípios que podem ser aplicados independente da tecnologia utilizada e linguagem de programação.
