System Design Skill

Purpose

Enable the Solution Architect Agent to design the high-level structure of software systems, selecting appropriate patterns, technologies, and integration strategies.

Architectural Patterns

1. Monolithic

• Use Case: Small startup, simple domain, fast initial dev.
• Pros: Simple deployment, easy debugging.
• Cons: Scalability limits, tight coupling.

2. Microservices

• Use Case: Complex enterprise, distinct domains, independent scaling.
• Pros: Tech stack agnostic per service, scalable.
• Cons: Distributed complexity, network latency, data consistency.
