Scalable system architectures are designed by selecting appropriate patterns like microservices or event-driven models based on project constraints. The process produces high-level diagrams, NFR checklists, and failure-mode mitigations aligned with your availability and security requirements.

Documenting architectural decisions involves creating Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) that capture trade-offs, alternatives considered, and consequences. This ensures key choices for distributed systems are consistent, justified, and aligned with non-functional requirements.

Migrating to microservices requires reviewing existing platform requirements to define service boundaries and data partitioning. This yields a structured migration plan complete with ADRs that justify the transition to a modular architecture.

Event-driven architecture or CQRS should be used over a modular monolith when your system requires high scalability and decoupled data processing. Pattern selection depends on specific team context, project constraints, and non-functional requirements.

Evaluating technology choices for non-functional requirements involves generating an NFR checklist and analyzing failure-mode mitigations. This provides technology recommendations for databases and messaging that align with your scalability and reliability targets.
