Overview

Architecture is not drawing boxes. Architecture is making decisions in the face of problems, constraints, and trade-offs.

Every week, in some company, a team presents a flawless diagram - dozens of services, queues, clusters, three databases - for a problem that would fit on a single server. The architecture works. The problem is what it costs, who can operate it, and what happens to it two years from now.

Solutions Architecture in Practice is a book about architectural reasoning. Instead of teaching tools, it teaches the questions that come before them: what is the problem behind the request? What does "10,000 users" mean in requests per second? How many minutes per year is 99.99%? Which constraints rule out alternatives before the technical debate even starts? What does each choice give up?

In 35 chapters, the book covers non-functional requirements with numbers - capacity, latency and percentiles, composite availability, resilience, security, observability, cost, RTO and RPO -, the field's big decisions - monolith or microservices, synchronous or asynchronous, SQL or NoSQL, caching, messaging, cloud, Kubernetes, build or buy - and five complete cases: a financial system, an e-commerce company growing from 500 to 100,000 users, the modernization of a legacy system that cannot stop, a business-to-business integration, and a 99.99% availability platform.

It includes annotated ADRs, ready-to-use templates, a question checklist for the first meeting of any project, and reference tables for daily work.

Who it is for: solutions and software architects, senior developers, tech leads, cloud and infrastructure engineers, technology managers, and professionals moving into architecture.

Start with the problem. Technology comes later.
