Designing Systems

Workflows

• Requirements: Gather functional and non-functional requirements
• Diagrams: Create C4 diagrams (Context, Container)
• Data: Define data model and storage strategy
• API: Define interfaces and contracts
• Risks: Identify single points of failure
• Document: Save to ./artifacts/adr_[topic].md

Feedback Loops

1. Draft design document
2. Review with stakeholders
3. Create POC for risky components
4. Refine design based on POC
5. Finalize ADR
