2. Maintainability and extensibility
3. Performance and scalability
4. Cost and time-to-market

When to Use

• Designing a new system architecture
• Reviewing an existing architecture
• Choosing architecture and design patterns
• Planning for scale, reliability, and security
• Refactoring a monolith or core platform
• Reducing technical debt
