# GenXL # GenXL - Architecture Design ### 1. Introduction Briefly explain the purpose of the system, its scope, and what this document covers. - Overview - Purpose - Scope ### 2. System Overview High-level description of the system and its main features, without going into technical details. - High-level description - Key features ### 3. Requirements Summarizes the functional requirements (what the system should do) and non-functional requirements (performance, scalability, usability, etc.). - Functional requirements - Non-functional requirements ### 4. Architecture Overview Describes the main components of the system, how they interact, and includes diagrams. - Main components - End-to-End workflow - Interactions - Diagrams ### 5. Data Design Outlines how data is structured and stored, including data models or databases used. - Data model - Storage approach ### 6. Key Design Decisions Highlights important technical choices, why they were made, and what alternatives were considered. - Important choices - Alternatives considered ### 7. Security Explains how the system ensures security, covering authentication, authorization, and data protection. - Authentication / authorization - Data protection ### 8. Deployment Describes where and how the system will be deployed (environments, servers, cloud, etc.) and how updates are delivered. - Environments - Deployments diagram - CI/CD ### 9. Operations Covers ongoing management: monitoring, logging, maintenance, and support processes. - Monitoring - Logging - Maintenance ### 10. Risks Lists potential risks, their impact, and mitigation strategies. - Potential risks - Mitigation strategies ### 11.

#### Overview Provide a short description of the NPO \[What do they do? Where are they located? Group of people their services are focused on?\] Provide a high-level description of what the project does, what problem does it solve, who will be using it? #### Architecture Include a short explanation of the system's main components: - Core Services - Frameworks. If you are using a niche framework (PayloadCMS, Glom) include a link to their documentation. - Databases - Authentication mechanisms \[Insert the architecture document created before project kickoff\] #### Challenges Give a prioritized list of all main challenges your team is currently facing and a possible path to solve them. Encourage them to contribute to the problem solving brainstorm. What are some of the features that will be worked on next semester?
