ARCHITECTURE.md - Main Architecture Guide (500+ lines)

Complete system architecture documentation

Covers:

  • System architecture diagram
  • Bounded contexts & service responsibilities
  • Inter-service communication patterns
  • Data isolation & consistency strategy
  • Deployment patterns (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Failure scenarios & resilience
  • Security considerations
  • Database schema per service
  • Performance implications
  • Future enhancement recommendations

Best for: Architects, senior developers, tech leads, design reviews

Read time: 45 minutes

🎯 Quick Navigation

Understanding the System

  • Service Boundaries: See ARCHITECTURE.md (bounded contexts section)
  • Communication Patterns: See ARCHITECTURE.md (inter-service communication section)
  • Data Strategy: See ARCHITECTURE.md (data isolation section)

Design Decisions

  • Why microservices?: See ARCHITECTURE.md (introduction)
  • Why separate databases?: See ARCHITECTURE.md (data isolation section)
  • Service discovery approach: See ARCHITECTURE.md (deployment patterns)
  • Resilience strategy: See ARCHITECTURE.md (failure scenarios)

Technical Details

  • Database design: See ARCHITECTURE.md (database schema section)
  • Security model: See ARCHITECTURE.md (security considerations)
