Architecture decision record (ADR)

Architecture decision records capture why something was built this way.

  • status (proposed, accepted, superseded) and date
  • context: the problem and constraints
  • the decision in one sentence
  • options with pros and cons
  • consequences, good and bad

One ADR per decision, numbered. When a decision is replaced, do not delete the old ADR – set it to “superseded by …”.
