Integration Architecture Validator

Integration architecture decisions have long-term consequences — and the wrong choice costs teams months of rework and significant budget. Yet most architects make these decisions under time pressure, without a clear framework to structure their thinking.

This validator walks you through seven scenario-based questions that cover the dimensions that matter most: integration scale, latency, transformation complexity, reliability requirements, and team context. Based on your answers, it recommends the best-fit architecture style — from lightweight API integration to event-driven platforms and enterprise ESBs — and links you directly to the relevant design patterns.

Use it for: architecture reviews, project kickoffs, design justification, or whenever you want a structured second opinion on your integration approach.
