SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Architecture decisions are often made in silos, leading to ad-hoc changes and misaligned teams. ADRs provide a lightweight, repeatable way to capture context, options, rationale, and outcomes.

Core Features & Use Cases

Structured ADR templates with sections for Context, Decision, Options, Consequences, and Action Items.
Trade-off analysis across technology choices (e.g., Kafka vs SQS), system designs, and component proposals.
Knowledge reuse: ADRs serve as a record for onboarding, audits, and future maintenance.

Quick Start

Create an Architecture Decision Record that documents the problem, options considered, chosen solution, and next steps.

FAQPage Schema

How do I document architecture decisions and trade-offs?▼

You document architecture decisions by creating an Architecture Decision Record (ADR) that captures the context, chosen solution, options considered, trade-offs, consequences, and action items. This structured approach ensures design choices are recorded for future reference.

What is an ADR and when do I need to write one?▼

An ADR is a lightweight record that captures the context, options, rationale, and outcomes of a design choice. You need to write one when evaluating technology options, system designs, or component proposals to prevent ad-hoc changes and align teams.

How do I analyze trade-offs between technology options like Kafka vs SQS?▼

To analyze trade-offs between technology options, you evaluate each choice within a structured ADR format. This involves documenting the context, comparing the options, and explicitly recording the consequences and action items for the selected solution.

Can I use an ADR template for evaluating component proposals across projects?▼

Yes, you can use the ADR template for evaluating component proposals across multiple projects. It provides a repeatable structure to capture design choices and trade-offs, applicable to various system designs and technology evaluations.

Why does my team make system design decisions in silos and how do I fix it?▼

Teams make system design decisions in silos when there is no repeatable process to capture context. You fix this by implementing ADRs to document design choices, trade-offs, and outcomes, ensuring alignment and knowledge reuse.
