## Key Architectural Principles

* **Scalability** - Horizontal and vertical scaling strategies
* **Resilience** - Fault tolerance, circuit breakers, and graceful degradation
* **Security** - Defense in depth, zero trust, and compliance frameworks
* **Observability** - Monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting architectures

<Warning>
  **Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)**: Each architectural pattern includes
  the rationale, trade-offs, and alternatives considered to help you understand
  the decision-making process.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  **Getting Started**: Begin with the high-level architecture overview to
  understand the big picture, then drill down into specific domains relevant to
  your implementation needs.
