ADR Architect

Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) capture the why behind significant technical choices.

Why ADRs?

• Avoid "Second-Guessing": Document why an alternative was rejected.
• Onboard Newcomers: Provide historical context for existing designs.
• Team Alignment: Ensure everyone understands the rationale for a decision.

Standard ADR Format

1. Title

State the decision clearly (e.g., "ADR-001: Use PostgreSQL for Persistent Storage").

2. Status

Proposed, Accepted, Superceded, or Rejected.

3. Context

What is the problem? What are the constraints? What alternatives were considered?
