FAQPage Schema

How do I review software design for architectural alignment before coding?▼

You can review software design for architectural alignment by assessing proposed changes against defined architectural layers and patterns before coding begins. This requirements review ensures new implementations cover necessary layers like security and observability while matching business goals.

What is the best way to get implementation guidance for new code based on existing models?▼

Implementation guidance for new code is provided by offering specific patterns and structure based on existing architectural models. This ensures new software development adheres to defined layers and best practices throughout the implementation lifecycle.

How do I critique existing code for model drift and pattern compliance?▼

You critique existing code for model drift and pattern compliance by reviewing code or pull requests against defined architectural layers. This implementation critique identifies deviations from established software design patterns and architectural principles.

Can I use architectural guidance to ensure a new microservice covers all necessary layers?▼

Yes, you can use architectural guidance to ensure a new microservice covers all necessary layers. The guidance assesses proposed changes against architectural models, verifying that security, observability, and other structural layers are properly addressed before implementation.

Does this implementation guidance automatically update architectural models?▼

No, this implementation guidance is advisory-only and does not automatically update architectural models. It analyzes code against defined layers and patterns, recommending specific DR commands for users to execute when model updates are required.
