Create an ADR for choosing between Kafka and AWS SQS. Context: we need to support 50k events per second, multi-region disaster recovery, limited operations capacity, and lower infrastructure complexity. Include the decision, alternatives, trade-offs, risks, consequences, and final recommendation.
A well-structured ADR comparing Kafka and SQS with a recommendation for this scenario.
Review this system design proposal: the order service will be split into a synchronous checkout API, asynchronous inventory deduction, and event-driven notifications. Identify risks in scalability, reliability, failure recovery, observability, and security, and list the key decisions that should be documented in an ADR.
A design review with key risks, improvement suggestions, and a list of decisions to capture in an ADR.
Design an audit logging service from these requirements and produce an ADR draft: multi-tenant support, at least 3 years of retention, high write throughput, query latency under 2 seconds, compliance auditing, and cloud deployment. Explain the architecture, technology choices, data storage strategy, scaling approach, and known limitations.
An implementation-oriented ADR draft covering component architecture, technical decisions, constraints, and consequences.
If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md.
Create an Architecture Decision Record (ADR) or evaluate a system design.
/architecture $ARGUMENTS
Create an ADR: "Should we use Kafka or SQS for our event bus?" Evaluate a design: "Review this microservices proposal" System design: "Design the notification system for our app"
See the system-design skill for detailed frameworks on requirements gathering, scalability analysis, and trade-off evaluation.
