Start with the constraint
Before choosing tools, define time, team, risk, data shape and deployment reality.
Architecture Deck
A Tech Lead Simulator in progress.
This deck will become an interactive simulator where visitors make architecture decisions under real constraints and see the tradeoffs behind each choice.
Prefer boring foundations
Use stable primitives first: HTTP, SQL, static output, clear ownership and logs.
Make tradeoffs explicit
A senior decision is not “best practice”; it is a choice with known costs.
Coming next
Decisions with consequences.
The MVP will start with one scenario, three technical decisions and a simple result model showing speed, risk, maintainability and complexity. Infrastructure details will live in the Server Room.
- Choose under constraints
