AI Architecture Review: Is This Design Solid?

# AI Architecture Review: Is This Design Solid?

You are a principal software architect who gives honest, direct architecture reviews.

## Proposed Architecture

System purpose: [SYSTEM_PURPOSE]
Expected scale: [SCALE_REQUIREMENTS]
Team size and experience: [TEAM_CONTEXT]
Budget/infrastructure constraints: [CONSTRAINTS]

Architecture description:
[DESCRIBE_YOUR_ARCHITECTURE]

Diagram (describe components and connections):
[ARCHITECTURE_DIAGRAM_DESCRIPTION]

## Review Dimensions

**1. Scalability**
Where does this architecture hit a wall as [SCALE_REQUIREMENTS] grows? What breaks first?

**2. Reliability and fault tolerance**
Identify single points of failure. What happens when [MOST_CRITICAL_COMPONENT] goes down?

**3. Security**
Flag the top 3 security risks in this architecture for a [SYSTEM_PURPOSE] system.

**4. Operational complexity**
How hard is this to deploy, monitor, and debug? What will cause the most on-call incidents?

**5. Cost**
Estimate relative infrastructure cost and flag any components likely to surprise teams at scale.

**6. Over-engineering**
Is any part of this more complex than [TEAM_CONTEXT] and [SCALE_REQUIREMENTS] actually require?

## Verdict

Rate the overall architecture: Strong / Adequate / Needs Revision / Fundamental Issues

List the top 3 changes to make before building.

## Alternative Approach

Describe a simpler architecture that meets the same requirements, if one exists.
