ADR: The Missing Link
summary
Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) are described as simple Markdown files stored in Git that record the rationale for architectural choices with fields like ID, date, status, context, justification, alternatives and consequences. The talk shows ADRs help speed future changes and justify past decisions using a multichannel chatbot example that adds a gRPC offload service and chooses in-memory storage for attachments because Kubernetes lacks cheap disk and latency matters, producing three linked ADRs (service, protocol, storage) and documenting the workable design and its risk of transient data loss.
