Software Architecture Research

Overview

Architecture research is a systematic process for evaluating technology options, design patterns, and system architectures. Create Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) to document decisions with context, rationale, and trade-offs. Use this skill to make informed technology choices backed by real research.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:

• Evaluating technology stack options for a new project
• Researching design patterns and architectural approaches
• Comparing cloud services and infrastructure options
• Creating Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
• Documenting technology trade-offs and rationale
• Researching integration patterns and best practices

Visual Enhancement with Project Diagrams

When documenting architecture decisions, always include diagrams.
