Layered Rails applies unidirectional presentation, application, domain, and infrastructure boundaries to implementation, refactoring, and review. It helps Rails teams find fat controllers, god objects, misplaced callbacks, anemic models, and reverse dependencies, then choose fitting patterns such as policies, query objects, forms, presenters, services, and state machines.
