Document architectural decisions for microservices by authoring Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) that capture the rationale, trade-offs, and consistent decision criteria for each choice. ADRs provide traceability and context for system design reviews.

Analyzing technology trade-offs for scalable system design involves systematically comparing patterns, technologies, and constraints. This process incorporates non-functional requirements like reliability and performance to evaluate high-level infrastructure patterns.

Create architecture diagrams to provide clear visual representations of system components and their interactions. These diagrams enforce consistent design criteria and are applied during system design reviews to evaluate proposed microservices.

Yes, you can use this for scalability planning across microservices and infrastructure patterns. It provides explicit guidance for non-functional requirements, incorporating reliability, performance, and security considerations into architecture evaluation.

Perform a risk assessment for system architecture when evaluating high-level designs and technology trade-offs for scalable systems. Risk assessment is enforced alongside ADR documentation to ensure non-functional requirements are systematically addressed.
