26. Architecture Design with AI
AI brainstorms architectures, evaluates trade-offs, suggests patterns. But final decision is yours.
(Spoiler: AI suggesting "use microservices for your todo app" is peak over-engineering. Not everything needs Kubernetes. Calm down. 🎪)
Use Cases
- Explore Options: "Compare microservices vs monolith for X"
- Pattern Suggestions: "What design pattern for this problem?"
- Trade-off Analysis: "Pros/cons of event sourcing?"
- Diagram Generation: ChatGPT Code Interpreter can create Mermaid diagrams
Limitations
- ⚠️ AI doesn't know your specific constraints (team size, budget, timelines)
- ⚠️ Can suggest over-engineered solutions
- ⚠️ Always verify against real-world experience
