system-design

To decompose a monolith, identify logical boundaries and draft a components map with explicit interfaces. This system design approach applies architecture patterns and dependency management to produce modular, maintainable boundaries across build phases.

Document system interfaces by producing explicit dependencies, boundaries, and testable contracts using component patterns. This maps module organization across layered or hexagonal architectures to guide implementation decisions.

Yes, this approach applies architecture patterns and dependency management across both design and build phases. It identifies and documents system components and their interfaces to guide implementation throughout the lifecycle.

You need to define boundaries using layered or hexagonal architecture patterns when decomposing large systems to improve clarity, scalability, and maintainability during design.

Yes, you can use this for architecture evolution and design decisions on existing systems. It provides guidance for evolving architecture by mapping explicit dependencies and identifying logical boundaries within a monolith.
