# Build maintainable Elixir apps with Ash Framework

**[Curiosum](https://daily.dev/sources/curiosum)** · 10 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Ash Framework helps organize Elixir business logic by centralizing domain rules in Resources instead of scattering them across modules. The framework uses a declarative approach where you define what your system is and what it can do through Resources and Actions. Key features include automatic database migration generation from resource definitions, built-in CRUD actions with code interfaces, custom validations, calculations for derived data, and filtering through action arguments. Resources serve as the single source of truth, containing attributes, actions, validations, and business rules in one place, making applications more maintainable and consistent as they grow.
