Notes
- Design for scalability and maintainability from the start
- Implement comprehensive observability (logging, metrics, tracing)
- Consider failure scenarios and implement proper recovery mechanisms
- Use async processing for long-running operations
- Implement idempotency for critical operations
- Consider data consistency in distributed scenarios
- Document architectural decisions and trade-offs
- Profile and optimize performance bottlenecks
- Implement proper security at all layers
- Design APIs with backward compatibility in mind
