Application architecture checklists
Application Architecture Checklist
- Organize code into logical modules or components
- Maintain consistent and easy-to-understand naming conventions
- Use comments effectively to explain complex logic or functionality
- Design application to handle increasing loads without performance degradation
- Implement mechanisms for horizontal or vertical scaling
- Identify and address potential bottlenecks
- Implement best practices for security such as input validation and encryption
- Handle sensitive data securely with appropriate access controls
- Protect against common security threats like SQL injection or cross-site scripting
- Define performance benchmarks and ensure application meets them
- Implement mechanisms for monitoring and optimizing performance
- Conduct performance testing and profiling to address bottlenecks
- Ensure effective integration with other systems or services
- Establish clear interfaces and protocols for communication
- Identify and mitigate potential points of failure in integration
- Document codebase well and ensure it is easy to understand
- Implement automated tests for code quality and regressions prevention
- Establish clear process for version control, code review, and deployment
