- ## Hallucination Traps (Read First)
11
- - ❌ Choosing microservices for a team of 1-3 developers -> ✅ Start monolith, extract services only when team/scale demands it
12
- - ❌ Using event-driven architecture without understanding eventual consistency -> ✅ Events mean data will be stale; design for it
13
- - Skipping ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) -> ✅ Every non-obvious decision needs a written 'why' for future maintainers

- # Architecture — System Design Mastery
19
-
20
- ## Architecture Selection
21
-
22
- ```
23
- Team size? Scale? Cadence?
24
- 1–5 → Monolith <10K RPM → Monolith Weekly → Monolith
25
- 5–20 → Mod. Mono <100K RPM → Mono+CDN Daily → Modular Mono
26
- 20+ → Microsvcs >100K RPM → Microsvcs Per-svc → Microsvcs
27
-
28
- Microservices are NOT inherently better.
29
- A well-structured monolith beats a poorly designed microservice system.
30
- Start monolith. Extract services only when proven necessary.
31
- ```
32
-
33
- **3 Questions Before Any Pattern:**
34
- 1. What SPECIFIC problem does this pattern solve?
35
- 2. Is there a simpler solution?
36
- 3. Can we add this LATER when proven needed?
37

40
- ## Clean Architecture (Dependency Rule)
41
-
42
- ```
43
- Presentation → Application → Domain ← Infrastructure
44
- (Controllers) (Use Cases) (Entities) (DB, APIs)
45
-
46
- Dependency Rule: arrows point INWARD. Domain knows NOTHING about infra.
47
- Application defines interfaces (ports). Infrastructure implements them (adapters).
48
- ```
49
-
50
- ```typescript
51
- // Domain pure business logic, zero external dependencies
52
- interface UserRepository { findById(id: string): Promise<User | null>; }
53
- class User {
54
- promote(): void {
55
- if (this._role === UserRole.ADMIN) throw new DomainError("Already admin");
56
- this._role = UserRole.ADMIN;
57
- }
58
- }
59
-
60
- // Application — orchestrates use cases
61
- class PromoteUserUseCase {
62
- async execute(userId: string): Promise<void> {
63
- const user = await this.userRepo.findById(userId);
64
- if (!user) throw new NotFoundError("User", userId);
65
- user.promote();
66
- await this.userRepo.save(user);
67
- await this.eventBus.publish(new UserPromotedEvent(userId));
68
- }
69
- }
70
-
71
- // Infrastructure — concrete implementations of ports
72
- class PostgresUserRepository implements UserRepository {
73
- async findById(id: string) { /* db.query(...) */ }
74
- }
75
- ```
76
-
77
- ---
78
-
79
- ## CQRS
80
-
81
- ```
82
- Commands (Write) → Normalized Write DB
83
- Queries (Read) → Denormalized/Cached Read Model
84
-
85
- When to use: ✅ Read/write patterns diverge ✅ 10:1+ read:write ratio ✅ Event sourcing
86
- When NOT to: ❌ Simple CRUD ❌ Team < 3 devs ❌ Read/write models are identical
87
- ```
88
-
89
- ---
90
-
91
- ## Event-Driven Architecture
92
-
93
- ```
94
- Event Types:
95
- Domain Events → "OrderPlaced" within a bounded context
96
- Integration Events → Cross-service via message queue
97
- Notification Events → Fire-and-forget (logging, analytics)
98
-
99
- Broker Selection:
100
- BullMQ / Redis Streams → Simple, single-service queues
101
- RabbitMQ → Complex routing, dead-letter queues
102
- Apache Kafka → High throughput, replay, event log
103
- AWS SQS/SNS Managed, serverless-friendly
104
-
105
- Outbox Pattern (reliable publishing):
106
- 1. Save entity + event in ONE DB transaction
107
- 2. Background worker polls outbox → publishes to broker
108
- 3. Mark as publishedguarantees at-least-once delivery
109
- ```

- ## Anti-Patterns Reference
114
-
115
- | Pattern | When it's an Anti-Pattern | Simpler Alternative |
116
- |---------|--------------------------|---------------------|
117
- | Microservices | Before team or scale justifies it | Modular monolith |
118
- | Clean/Hexagonal | Over-abstraction for simple CRUD | Concrete first, interfaces later |
119
- | Event Sourcing | No business requirement for audit/replay | Append-only audit log |
120
- | CQRS | Simple data model, no read/write divergence | Single model |
121
- | Repository | Simple CRUD, single database | ORM direct access |

- ## Scalability Patterns
152
-
153
- ```
154
- Read scaling: Redis cache → Read replicas → CDN for static assets
155
- Write scaling: Queue writes → Partition data → Event sourcing
156
- Stateless: Sessions in Redis → JWT → No server affinity
157
- DB scaling: Connection pooling → Read replicas → Partitioning → Sharding (last resort)
158
- Cache layers: L1: In-memory (process) L2: Redis (shared) L3: CDN (edge)

- AI coding assistants often fall into specific bad habits when dealing with this domain. These are strictly forbidden:
177
-
178
- 1. **Over-engineering:** Proposing complex abstractions or distributed systems when a simpler approach suffices.
179
- 2. **Hallucinated Libraries/Methods:** Using non-existent methods or packages. Always `// VERIFY` or check `package.json` / `requirements.txt`.
180
- 3. **Skipping Edge Cases:** Writing the "happy path" and ignoring error handling, timeouts, or data validation.
181
- 4. **Context Amnesia:** Forgetting the user's constraints and offering generic advice instead of tailored solutions.
182
- 5. **Silent Degradation:** Catching and suppressing errors without logging or re-raising.

191
- ### ❌ Forbidden AI Tropes
192
-
193
- 1. **Blind Assumptions:** Never make an assumption without documenting it clearly with `// VERIFY: [reason]`.
194
- 2. **Silent Degradation:** Catching and suppressing errors without logging or handling.
195
- 3. **Context Amnesia:** Forgetting the user's constraints and offering generic advice instead of tailored solutions.
196
-
197
-
198
-
199
- Review these questions before confirming output:
200
- ```
201
- ✅ Did I rely ONLY on real, verified tools and methods?
202
- ✅ Is this solution appropriately scoped to the user's constraints?
203
- ✅ Did I handle potential failure modes and edge cases?
204
- ✅ Have I avoided generic boilerplate that doesn't add value?
205
- ```
206
-
207
- ### 🛑 Verification-Before-Completion (VBC) Protocol
208
-
209
- **CRITICAL:** You must follow a strict "evidence-based closeout" state machine.
210
- - ❌ **Forbidden:** Declaring a task complete because the output "looks correct."
211
- - ✅ **Required:** You are explicitly forbidden from finalizing any task without providing **concrete evidence** (terminal output, passing tests, compile success, or equivalent proof) that your output works as intended.
212

213
-
214
- ## Pre-Flight Checklist
215
- - [ ] Have I reviewed the user's specific constraints and requests?
216
- - [ ] Have I checked the environment for relevant existing implementations?
217
-
218
- ## VBC Protocol (Verification-Before-Completion)
219
- You MUST verify existing code signatures and variables before attempting to modify or call them. No hallucination is permitted.

13
+ ## Hallucination Traps (Read First)
14
+
15
+ - ❌ Choosing microservices for a team of 1-3 developers -> ✅ Start monolith, extract services only when team/scale demands it
16
+ - ❌ Using event-driven architecture without understanding eventual consistency -> ✅ Events mean data will be stale; design for it
17
+ - ❌ Skipping ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) -> ✅ Every non-obvious decision needs a written 'why' for future maintainers

21
+ # Architecture — System Design Mastery
22
+
23
+ ## Architecture Selection
24
+
25
+ ```
26
+ Team size? Scale? Cadence?
27
+ 1–5 → Monolith <10K RPM → Monolith Weekly → Monolith
28
+ 5–20 → Mod. Mono <100K RPM Mono+CDN Daily → Modular Mono
29
+ 20+ Microsvcs >100K RPM Microsvcs Per-svc Microsvcs
30
+
31
+ ❌ Microservices are NOT inherently better.
32
+ A well-structured monolith beats a poorly designed microservice system.
33
+ Start monolith. Extract services only when proven necessary.
34
+ ```
35
+
36
+ **3 Questions Before Any Pattern:**
37
+
38
+ 1. What SPECIFIC problem does this pattern solve?
39
+ 2. Is there a simpler solution?
40
+ 3. Can we add this LATER when proven needed?

+
44
+ ## Clean Architecture (Dependency Rule)
45
+
46
+ ```
47
+ Presentation → Application Domain Infrastructure
48
+ (Controllers) (Use Cases) (Entities) (DB, APIs)
49
+
50
+ Dependency Rule: arrows point INWARD. Domain knows NOTHING about infra.
51
+ Application defines interfaces (ports). Infrastructure implements them (adapters).
52
+ ```
53
+
54
+ ```typescript
55
+ // Domain pure business logic, zero external dependencies
56
+ interface UserRepository {
57
+ findById(id: string): Promise<User | null>;
58
+ }
59
+ class User {
60
+ promote(): void {
61
+ if (this._role === UserRole.ADMIN) throw new DomainError("Already admin");
62
+ this._role = UserRole.ADMIN;
63
+ }
64
+ }
65
+
66
+ // Application — orchestrates use cases
67
+ class PromoteUserUseCase {
68
+ async execute(userId: string): Promise<void> {
69
+ const user = await this.userRepo.findById(userId);
70
+ if (!user) throw new NotFoundError("User", userId);
71
+ user.promote();
72
+ await this.userRepo.save(user);
73
+ await this.eventBus.publish(new UserPromotedEvent(userId));
74
+ }
75
+ }
76
+
77
+ // Infrastructure — concrete implementations of ports
78
+ class PostgresUserRepository implements UserRepository {
79
+ async findById(id: string) {
80
+ /* db.query(...) */
81
+ }
82
+ }
83
+ ```
84
+
85
+ ---
86
+
87
+ ## CQRS
88
+
89
+ ```
90
+ Commands (Write) → Normalized Write DB
91
+ Queries (Read) → Denormalized/Cached Read Model
92
+
93
+ When to use: ✅ Read/write patterns diverge ✅ 10:1+ read:write ratio ✅ Event sourcing
94
+ When NOT to: ❌ Simple CRUD ❌ Team < 3 devs ❌ Read/write models are identical
95
+ ```
96
+
97
+ ---
98
+
99
+ ## Event-Driven Architecture
100
+
101
+ ```
102
+ Event Types:
103
+ Domain Events "OrderPlaced" within a bounded context
104
+ Integration Events → Cross-service via message queue
105
+ Notification Events → Fire-and-forget (logging, analytics)
106
+
107
+ Broker Selection:
108
+ BullMQ / Redis StreamsSimple, single-service queues
109
+ RabbitMQ → Complex routing, dead-letter queues
110
+ Apache Kafka → High throughput, replay, event log
111
+ AWS SQS/SNS → Managed, serverless-friendly
112
+
113
+ Outbox Pattern (reliable publishing):
114
+ 1. Save entity + event in ONE DB transaction
115
+ 2. Background worker polls outbox publishes to broker
116
+ 3. Mark as published → guarantees at-least-once delivery
117
+ ```

+ | Clean/Hexagonal | Over-abstraction for simple CRUD | Concrete first, interfaces later |
127
+ | Event Sourcing | No business requirement for audit/replay | Append-only audit log |
128
+ | CQRS | Simple data model, no read/write divergence | Single model |
129
