Backend Architecture

Communication Patterns

Pattern	Use Case
REST API	Standard CRUD operations
SignalR	Real-time updates
Background Jobs	Async processing
Message Queue	Event-driven systems

Decision Matrix

Decision	Option A	Option B
State management	Pinia	Composables
API calls	Axios	Fetch
Forms	VeeValidate	Native
Testing	Vitest	Jest

Scaling Considerations

Layer	Strategy
Frontend	CDN, code splitting
API	Horizontal scaling, load balancer
Database	Read replicas, caching
Background	Worker processes

DO / DON'T

✅ Do	❌ Don't
Clear layer separation	Mixed concerns
Dependency injection	Hard dependencies
Interface-based design	Concrete dependencies
