About
Architecture Discipline is designed to prevent costly system redesigns by requiring a standardized reasoning sequence before any implementation begins. It mandates a comprehensive analysis covering scale requirements, alternative options, ripple effects across the stack, failure modes, and observability. By shifting from a checklist mentality to deep evaluation—using concrete numbers and specific technology choices—this skill ensures that every architectural decision is vetted against 10x growth projections and potential failure scenarios, making it indispensable for teams designing new services, choosing databases, or modifying critical infrastructure.
