What does this agent skill do?

System Design Skill

Purpose

Enable the Solution Architect Agent to design the high-level structure of software systems, selecting appropriate patterns, technologies, and integration strategies.

Architectural Patterns

1. Monolithic

  • Use Case: Small startup, simple domain, fast initial dev.
  • Pros: Simple deployment, easy debugging.
  • Cons: Scalability limits, tight coupling.

2. Microservices

  • Use Case: Complex enterprise, distinct domains, independent scaling.
  • Pros: Tech stack agnostic per service, scalable.
  • Cons: Distributed complexity, network latency, data consistency.

3. Event-Driven

  • Use Case: Real-time interactions, high decoupling.
  • Components: Producers, Consumers, Event Bus (Kafka, RabbitMQ).

4. Serverless

  • Use Case: Event-triggered, variable load.
  • Pros: Pay-per-use, no infra management.

Key Design Decisions (The "ilities")

  • Scalability: Vertical (bigger machine) vs. Horizontal (more machines).
  • Availability: Redundancy, failover strategies. Load balancers.
  • Reliability: Circuit breakers, retries, eventual consistency.
  • Maintainability: Clean code, documentation, monitoring.
  • Security: Authentication (OAuth), Authorization (RBAC), Encryption.

API Design Strategy

  • REST: Standard resource-based.
  • GraphQL: Flexible data querying.
  • gRPC: High performance inter-service comms.

Database Selection

  • Relational (SQL): Structured data, ACID transactions (PostgreSQL, MySQL).
  • NoSQL (Document): Flexible schema, rapid iteration (MongoDB).
  • NoSQL (Key-Value): Caching, heavy read/write (Redis, DynamoDB).
  • Time-Series: IoT, financial data (InfluxDB).

Documenting Architecture

  • C4 Model: Context, Container, Component, Code.
  • ADR (Architecture Decision Records): Documenting WHY a decision was made.

Deliverables

  • High-Level Design (HLD) Document.
  • Low-Level Design (LLD) Document.
  • Database Schema (ERD).
  • API Specifications (Swagger/OpenAPI).
