Best PromptsArchitecture Decision
Get 2-3 genuinely different architecture options with a trade-off table, a recommendation, and an ADR you can commit to the repo.
Help me make an architecture decision.
The decision: [WHAT YOU'RE DECIDING, e.g. "how to handle background jobs", "monolith vs services for the new module"]
System today: [STACK, SCALE, TEAM SIZE, DEPLOYMENT SETUP]
Requirements that matter: [FUNCTIONAL + NUMBERS WHERE THEY EXIST: requests/sec, data volume, latency budget, team's operational maturity]
Constraints: [BUDGET, DEADLINES, TECH THE TEAM KNOWS, COMPLIANCE]
Produce:
1. **Clarify the actual requirement**: restate what the decision must optimize for, and call out any requirement I stated that's likely over-specified for my scale ("you said 'must scale to millions', at your stated volume, that's a 5-year problem, not a launch problem"). If a missing number changes the answer, mark it [NEEDED: what] and proceed with a stated assumption.
2. **2-3 options that are genuinely different**: not one real option plus two strawmen. For each: how it works in my stack specifically, what it's like to operate at my team's size, and its failure story (what breaks first as load or complexity grows).
3. **Trade-off table**: options as columns; rows: complexity to build, complexity to operate, performance at my stated scale, cost, reversibility, team-fit. Rate honestly: every option must lose at something, or the table is decoration.
4. **Recommendation**: which option and why, in terms of MY constraints. Name the conditions under which the recommendation flips ("if you exceed X events/sec within a year, switch to option B").
5. **ADR**: a short Architecture Decision Record I can commit: context, decision, consequences (including the negative ones we're accepting).
Rules: boring and proven beats interesting at almost every team size, bias accordingly and say when you're doing it. Don't defer to my apparent preference; if my framing smuggles in a bad default, challenge it.More coding prompts
