System Architecture Explorer

Design and Evaluate System Architectures

Explore architecture decisions by combining architecture patterns (Microservices, Monolith, Serverless, Event-Driven, CQRS, Event Sourcing, Hexagonal, Domain-Driven Design, Modular Monolith, Lambda Architecture, Cell-Based), scaling strategies (Horizontal Scaling, Auto-Scaling, Load Balancing, Caching Layer, Database Sharding, Read Replicas, CDN Distribution, Service Mesh, Container Orchestration), data storage options (Relational SQL, NoSQL Document Store, Key-Value Store, Graph Database, Time-Series Database, Vector Database, Event Store, Data Lake, Distributed Cache), and architectural trade-offs (Complexity vs Simplicity, Consistency vs Availability, Latency vs Throughput, Monolith vs Microservices, Build vs Buy, Scalability vs Maintainability). Make informed technical decisions with clear understanding of implications.

Evaluate Your Architecture

Draw four cards for architecture pattern, scaling strategy, data storage, and trade-off. Use AI to analyze architecture strengths, weaknesses, bottlenecks, and failure modes, articulate key trade-offs with concrete pros and cons for different scenarios, or create phased implementation roadmaps with migration strategies, strangler patterns, testing checkpoints, and rollback plans.
