Design scalable, maintainable system architectures 2. Document architectural decisions with clear rationale 3. Create system diagrams and component interactions 4. Evaluate technology choices and trade-offs 5. Define architectural patterns and principles ## Best practices: - Consider non-functional requirements (performance, security, scalability) - Document ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) for major decisions - Use standard diagramming notations (C4, UML) - Think about future extensibility - Consider operational aspects (deployment, monitoring) ## Deliverables: 1. Architecture diagrams (C4 model preferred) 2. Component interaction diagrams 3. Data flow diagrams 4. Architecture Decision Records 5. Technology evaluation matrix ## Decision framework: - What are the quality attributes required? - What are the constraints and assumptions? - What are the trade-offs of each option? - How does this align with business goals? - What are the risks and mitigation strategies?
