# Technical Architecture

## 매 한 줄
> **"매 system 의 high-level structure + 매 design decision 의 rationale"**. 매 component, 매 boundary, 매 data flow, 매 quality attribute (performance, security, scalability) 의 결정. 매 2026 modern stack 은 C4 model + ADR + arc42 의 combination 으로 documentation.

## 매 핵심

### 매 4+1 view (Kruchten 1995)
- **Logical**: 매 functional decomposition (class, module).
- **Process**: 매 runtime concurrency (thread, service).
- **Development**: 매 source code organization (package, repo).
- **Physical**: 매 deployment topology (node, network).
- **Scenarios**: 매 use case 의 cross-cutting validation.

### 매 C4 model (Brown 2018)
- **L1 Context**: 매 system + 매 external actors.
- **L2 Container**: 매 deployable unit (web app, DB, queue).
- **L3 Component**: 매 container 의 internal module.
- **L4 Code**: 매 class diagram (rarely needed).

### 매 quality attributes (ISO 25010)
- Performance · Scalability · Availability · Security · Maintainability · Testability · Observability.
- 매 trade-off 의 명시 — 매 "all of them" 은 fantasy.

### 매 응용
1. Greenfield project 시 C4 L1+L2 먼저, ADR 로 매 decision 기록.
2. Legacy reverse engineering — 매 dependency graph 추출 후 component view.
3. Architecture review — quality attribute scenario 의 validation.

## 💻 패턴

### C4 diagram (PlantUML)
```plantuml

Person(user, "Customer")
System_Boundary(shop, "E-commerce") {
  Container(web, "Web App", "Next.js 15")
  Container(api, "API", "Node.js / Fastify")
  ContainerDb(db, "Database", "Postgres 16")
  Container(queue, "Queue", "Redis Streams")
}

### ADR template
```markdown
# ADR 0007: Choose Postgres over MongoDB

## Status: Accepted (2026-05-10)

## Context
Need primary store for order data. Strong consistency required.
Team has 5 years Postgres experience.

## Decision
Postgres 16 with JSONB for flexible product attributes.

## Consequences
+ ACID transactions for orders.
+ Mature ecosystem (Prisma, pgvector for AI features).
+ Single skill set for ops.
- Less flexible schema evolution.
- Manual sharding if scale > single node.

## Alternatives considered
- MongoDB: rejected — eventual consistency unsuitable for orders.
- DynamoDB: rejected — vendor lock-in, query flexibility.
```

### Hexagonal architecture (ports & adapters)
```typescript
// Domain (port)
interface OrderRepository {
  save(order: Order): Promise<void>;
  findById(id: string): Promise<Order | null>;
}

// Application
class PlaceOrderUseCase {
  constructor(private repo: OrderRepository, private payments: PaymentGateway) {}
  async execute(cmd: PlaceOrderCommand) {
    const order = Order.create(cmd);
    await this.payments.charge(order.total);
    await this.repo.save(order);
  }
}

// Infrastructure (adapter)
class PostgresOrderRepository implements OrderRepository {
  async save(order: Order) { /* SQL */ }
  async findById(id: string) { /* SQL */ }
}
```

### Layered architecture
```
┌─ Presentation (controllers, DTOs)
├─ Application (use cases)
├─ Domain (entities, value objects, services)
└─ Infrastructure (DB, HTTP, queue adapters)
```

### Event-driven boundary
```typescript
// Publisher (order service)
await events.publish('OrderPlaced', {
  orderId: order.id,
  customerId: order.customerId,
  total: order.total.amount,
  ts: Date.now(),
});

// Subscriber (notification service — independent deploy)
events.subscribe('OrderPlaced', async (e) => {
  await emailClient.send(e.customerId, 'order-confirmation', e);
});
```

### Quality attribute scenario
```yaml
attribute: Performance
source: 1000 concurrent users
stimulus: place order
artifact: API
environment: peak load
response: order accepted
measure: p95 latency < 500ms, error rate < 0.1%
```

## 매 결정 기준
| 상황 | Approach |
|---|---|
| Small team, single domain | Layered monolith |
| Multiple teams, bounded contexts | Microservices |
| Heavy I/O, async workflow | Event-driven |
| Domain-rich, complex rules | Hexagonal + DDD |
| Read-heavy, eventual consistency OK | CQRS + event sourcing |

**기본값**: 매 modular monolith 부터 시작 — 매 microservice 의 premature split 의 regret.

- Adjacent: [[Domain-Driven Design]] · [[Testability_Architecture]] · [[Technical_Debt]]

## 🤖 LLM 활용
**언제**: ADR drafting, C4 generation, quality attribute analysis, architecture review.
**언제 X**: 매 production 의 actual capacity planning — 매 real load test 필요.

## ❌ 안티패턴
- **Big design up front**: 매 waterfall 의 회귀.
- **No documentation**: 매 6개월 후 nobody knows why.
- **Microservices for 3 devs**: distributed monolith 의 distributed pain.
- **Cargo cult architecture**: Netflix scale 의 mimicry without justification.

## 🧪 검증 / 중복
- Verified (Kruchten 4+1 1995; Brown C4 2018; arc42 2024).
- 신뢰도 A.
