ADR01 - Architecture Pattern

Title

Decision to Choose the Architecture Pattern

Status

accepted

Context

The architecture pattern must:

  • support clear separation of concerns

  • support simple development workflows

  • easy integration between frontend, backend, and database components

Alternatives considered included:

  • Hexagonal Architecture

Decision

We chose Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture pattern, because the project has limited complexity and a relatively small domain scope.

Consequences

Easier:

  • Simpler project structure and organization

  • Faster development and implementation

  • Easier onboarding for new developers

  • Clear separation between models, controllers, and views

  • Lower architectural complexity

  • Easier debugging and maintenance for a small project

More difficult:

  • Scaling the application for large and complex business domains

  • Replacing infrastructure components independently

  • Enforcing strict separation between domain and infrastructure logic

  • Testing isolated business logic compared to more decoupled architectures
