ADR Architect-tool for creating ADRs quickly

Example

When a team needs to choose a database technology for a new application, ADR Architect will guide them through the process by asking sequential questions: What are the performance needs? Do you require horizontal scalability? What existing technologies are already in use? Based on their answers, it helps draft a decision record.

Scenario

A team is debating between PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Cassandra for their data storage needs. ADR Architect helps them by capturing their context (e.g., handling high-transaction workloads), listing drivers (e.g., scalability, schema flexibility), and evaluating each option before suggesting an outcome.

Example

ADR Architect uses browser-based research tools to analyze trends on technology choices. For instance, if a team is choosing between different front-end frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue, ADR Architect can provide insights on their popularity, community support, and long-term viability based on up-to-date trends.

Scenario

A team deciding on a new front-end framework might use ADR Architect to check which framework has the most active developer community or better long-term support. By providing trend data, ADR Architect helps inform their decision with real-world insights.

Example

ADR Architect generates mermaid diagrams to visually represent architecture decisions. For example, if a team is deciding between event-driven and request-response architectures, ADR Architect will generate a diagram showing how each option works in practice, providing a clearer understanding of the trade-offs.

Scenario

A team evaluating event-driven microservices versus a traditional request-response model can use the generated mermaid diagrams to visualize the flow of messages and interactions between services in each scenario. This visual aid helps in presenting the decision to stakeholders or during technical reviews.
