FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a new feature using server-first architecture and type-safe design?

Server-first architecture and type-safe design planning involves establishing directory structures and separation of concerns. You define feature-based organization patterns to generate a development roadmap and ensure codebase consistency.

When do I need architectural guidance for feature planning and system design reviews?

Architectural guidance is needed for feature planning when adding new capabilities to a codebase. It provides decision frameworks and documents principles to ensure consistent patterns during system design reviews.

What is the best way to organize code using feature-based organization and separation of concerns?

Feature-based organization groups code by capability rather than file type. It enforces separation of concerns, establishes directory standards, and applies server-first architecture to maintain consistent patterns across projects.

How do I decide between server-first rendering and client components for a new feature?

Deciding between server-first rendering and client components requires architectural decision frameworks. These frameworks evaluate type safety, separation of concerns, and feature design to enforce server-first architecture defaults.

Can I use this architectural guidance to enforce consistent patterns across multiple teams?

Yes, architectural guidance enforces consistent patterns across teams by documenting architectural principles. It provides decision frameworks and establishes standards for feature design, directory structure, and code organization.

What are the limitations of enforcing server-first architecture in feature design?

Limitations of enforcing server-first architecture include rigid constraints on client-side interactivity. It requires strict adherence to type-safe design and feature-based organization, potentially complicating components needing client state.
