Shared foundations. Explicit product boundaries.
Reuse identity, configuration, communication, persistence, search and operational capabilities while products retain ownership of domain behavior.
Discuss platform architecture
Make boundaries and data movement explainable.
A public architecture should show where interaction enters, how APIs establish context, which services own decisions, how background work changes state and where evidence is retained.
- Presentation and interaction boundary
- Typed APIs and integration contracts
- Product-owned services and workflows
- Jobs, events and real-time paths
- Tenant-aware state, search and retrieval
- Security, evidence, observability and recovery
Share mechanisms without centralizing every decision.
Common capabilities reduce duplication, but product logic remains close to the domain that understands it. External systems connect through controlled adapters so provider assumptions do not spread across the platform.
Protected hosts, credentials, customer data and exploitable configuration remain outside public documentation.
Bring the complete request and failure path.
Review identity, tenancy, state, integrations, background work, evidence, failure behavior, recovery and support ownership together.
