Architecture Decision

Document software architecture decisions by recording the rationale, trade-offs, and alternatives evaluated. This approach uses a structured template to capture the pros and cons of the chosen design patterns, ensuring the team understands the context behind the selected architecture.

Assess project complexity for architecture design by scoring the project across five distinct dimensions. This structured evaluation helps determine the appropriate software design patterns needed to handle the system's specific complexity.

Choose between layered, clean architecture, and microservices by matching your project's complexity scores to a pattern recommendation framework. This ensures the selected architecture aligns with the specific scalability and maintainability needs of your software.

Evaluate architectural choices and design patterns at the outset of a new project to ensure a scalable and maintainable solution. Assessing complexity early prevents misaligned software design and documents the rationale before development begins.

Yes, the architecture decision process works across various software design patterns by mapping complexity assessment scores to appropriate recommendations. It guides the selection of suitable patterns like Layered, Clean Architecture, or Microservices based on specific project needs.

Documenting alternatives when making architecture decisions provides a clear record of why other design patterns were rejected. Capturing these trade-offs ensures future teams understand the constraints and rationale behind the chosen software design.
