- Explain how a slice differs from a layer and what "axis of change" means in practice.
- Decide how much structure an individual slice needs rather than applying one shape everywhere.
- Manage the duplication that slicing produces without recreating a shared service layer.
- Recognise where vertical slices fit alongside a modular monolith and where they conflict.

01Cutting the Other Way
A layer groups code that does the same kind of work. A slice groups code that changes for the same reason. Most change requests follow the second grouping.
