nw-architecture-patterns

To choose architecture patterns, describe your system goals and constraints. The tool evaluates pattern selection using domain-driven design and quality attributes, providing structured recommendations with rationale and trade-offs for your system design.

The C4 model is used for multi-level architecture visualization. It enables communication across diverse stakeholders through System Context, Containers, Components, and Code levels to clearly illustrate structural patterns.

Use hexagonal architecture when you need to isolate business logic from infrastructure. This Ports and Adapters pattern improves testability and adaptability by decoupling core application logic from external concerns.

Document trade-offs using ADR templates to support decision logging and traceability. Architecture governance provides structured formats for recording architecture decisions, capturing rationale and evaluation context.

Yes, the tool evaluates system design against ISO 25010 quality attributes. It provides guidance for evaluation and trade-offs across contexts, ensuring architecture patterns meet robustness and cloud-resilience requirements.

Relying solely on architecture patterns without domain-driven design limits effectiveness. The tool provides load-on-demand decision support, but architects must still apply evaluation frameworks and document trade-offs using ADR templates.
