Author Architecture Decision Records for Systems You Own

8 weeks · 0 milestones

Author 3 Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for real systems you built or are actively working on — not hypothetical or textbook systems. Each ADR must include: the problem context (what constraint or requirement forced a decision), at least 3 considered alternatives with documented trade-offs for each, the final decision with explicit rationale, and the consequences you have already observed or expect to observe (positive and negative). ADRs for systems you own are defensible because they include evidence of consequences — either already observed or verifiably testable. Proof: a principal engineer or senior architect asks 'what would make you revisit the decision in your second ADR?' — you must answer in terms of your actual system's constraints and what specific evidence would change the decision, not the general principle.
