Architecture Decision Records document the reasoning behind important engineering choices. They explain not only what was selected, but why it was selected, what alternatives were considered, and what trade-offs were accepted.
Code shows what was built. Architecture explains how the system is organized. Architecture Decision Records preserve the judgment behind the decisions.
Every important engineering decision should be intentional, understandable, and explainable. These ADRs document the foundation of the Enterprise AI Customer Engagement Platform.
Selection of FastAPI as the backend framework for REST APIs, AI integration, validation, documentation, and cloud-native backend development.
Read ADR-001Selection of PostgreSQL as the primary relational database for CRM data, appointments, SMS history, chat records, and future analytics.

Coming SoonAdditional decisions will document security, deployment, messaging, repository organization, documentation strategy, and future AI agent architecture.
Back to Knowledge CenterA system becomes architecture when every design decision can be explained.
Great software is built with code. Great architecture is remembered through decisions.
