architecture-review

To perform an architecture review for production readiness, cross-reference code against design docs to verify alignment, map failure modes, evaluate scaling bottlenecks, and generate an ADR-backed decision document.

An ADR-backed architecture audit is a formal evaluation producing decision-grade handoff documents. You need one during CTO handoffs, major migrations, or when validating enterprise readiness of existing platforms.

Mapping failure modes and scaling bottlenecks involves cross-referencing architectural claims against actual code to identify lifecycle risks, verifying system reliability, and documenting findings for CTO handoffs.

Yes, an architecture review validates platform readiness before migration by auditing the codebase, evaluating scaling bottlenecks, and producing a decision-grade handoff document with ADRs.

The best way to prepare a CTO handoff document is conducting an evidence-based architecture review that cross-references code, maps failure modes, and outputs formal Architecture Decision Records.

Evidence-based architecture reviews require cross-referencing actual code with design documentation; systems lacking updated docs or accessible codebases limit the ability to map failure modes and produce accurate ADRs.
