architecture

Make system design decisions by clarifying requirements, identifying constraints, and comparing the benefits and drawbacks of different approaches. Record the reasoning in architecture decision records, or ADRs, while considering simpler alternatives and the team's experience.

OriginalShow the original description

Architectural decision-making framework. Requirements analysis, trade-off evaluation, ADR documentation. Use when making architecture decisions or analyzing system design.

Core Principle

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."

  • Start simple
  • Add complexity ONLY when proven necessary
  • You can always add patterns later
  • Removing complexity is MUCH harder than adding it

Validation Checklist

Before finalizing architecture:

  • Requirements clearly understood
  • Constraints identified
  • Each decision has trade-off analysis
  • Simpler alternatives considered
  • ADRs written for significant decisions
  • Team expertise matches chosen patterns
