architecture

An Architecture Decision Record (ADR) documents architectural decisions, rationale, and accepted trade-offs. You need ADRs when designing systems to ensure maintainability and provide clear reasoning for selected design patterns. This framework guides you through creating them.

Evaluate architectural trade-offs by analyzing project requirements and scale factors against a pattern selection tree. This framework guides you through comparing approaches like Microservices or Domain-Driven Design to select patterns that best fit your system constraints.

Document system architecture by systematically gathering requirements, evaluating different architectural approaches, and using ADR templates. This framework ensures your final decisions for SaaS products are documented with clear reasoning and accepted trade-offs.

Yes, you can use this architectural decision-making framework for projects ranging from MVPs to enterprise-level applications. It adapts context discovery and pattern selection to evaluate system constraints appropriately regardless of project scale.

The best way to analyze requirements for system architecture is using a structured framework for context discovery. It helps identify key project constraints, scale factors, and business requirements to ensure your system design is robust and maintainable.
