How I think about architecture

Business Need
Understand the domain
→
Architecture Decision
Choose, document, own it
→
Delivery
Reliable, tested, maintained

I always start from business needs before picking a technical solution. I favor a well-structured monolith over premature microservices. I document ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) and challenge conventions when justified.
