Architecture Paradigm Router

This skill helps you select the right architecture paradigm(s) for your system, then routes you to the specific paradigm skill for implementation details.

Quick Scenario Router

Match your needs to the recommended paradigm:

3-Step Selection Workflow

Step 1: Define Your Needs

Primary Concerns (select all that apply):

  • Testability: Isolate business logic → functional-core or hexagonal
  • Team Autonomy: Independent deployment → microservices or modular-monolith
  • Infrastructure Flexibility: Swap databases/frameworks → hexagonal
  • Real-time Scaling: Variable loads with events → event-driven or space-based
  • Simplicity: Maintainable without complexity → layered or modular-monolith
  • Legacy Integration: Work with existing systems → hexagonal or microkernel

System Context:

  • Team Size: < 5 → Layered/Functional Core | 5-15 → Modular Monolith | 15-50 → Microservices | 50+ → Microservices/Space-Based
  • Domain Complexity: Simple → Layered | Moderate → Hexagonal/Modular Monolith | Complex → Functional Core/CQRS | Highly Complex → Microservices/Event-Driven

Step 2: Evaluate Paradigms

Based on your needs from Step 1, review these options:

For Testability & Business Logic

  • Load architecture-paradigm-functional-core - Isolates business logic from infrastructure
  • Load architecture-paradigm-hexagonal - Clear domain/infrastructure boundaries
