GenAI Solutions Architecture
13 episodes — short audio overviews on genai solutions architecture.
GenAI ADR Engine — chapter audio overview
Build an automated ADR (Architecture Decision Record) system that captures, validates, and enforces GenAI-specific technology decisions across model selection, hosting strategy, and RAG-vs-fine-tuning trade-offs.
Define GenAI ADR Pydantic models with decision categories — lab audio overview
Build typed Pydantic models for Architecture Decision Records including decision categories, status lifecycle, and FastAPI endpoints for creating and querying ADRs.
Implement decision option scoring with weighted criteria matrix — lab audio overview
Build DecisionOption models with multi-criteria scoring, a WeightedCriteriaMatrix for normalization and ranking, and utility functions for generating comparison reports and validating evidence.
Build ADR persistence layer with versioning and supersede chains — lab audio overview
Implement an in-memory ADR repository with save, find, and atomic supersede operations, plus a versioning system that builds supersede chains, finds the current active version, and returns the full decision history timeline.
Build decision validation framework comparing ADR assumptions to metrics — lab audio overview
Build a framework that extracts testable assumptions from ADRs and validates them against production metrics.
Implement ADR staleness detection with drift alerts — lab audio overview
Build a staleness detection system that deterministically validates ADR assumptions against observed metrics, tracks consecutive failures per assumption, scores staleness, and raises severity-ranked drift alerts when decisions go stale.
Create decision effectiveness scorecard with measured outcomes — lab audio overview
Build a decision effectiveness scorecard that deterministically checks measured outcomes against their targets, aggregates pass rates into category-level statistics, and computes a weighted effectiveness score with a letter grade.
Build historical decision outcome tracker with success and failure labels — lab audio overview
Build a system that tracks the outcomes of architecture decisions over time, labeling them as successful or failed based on measured criteria.
Implement similarity-based ADR recommendation from prior decisions — lab audio overview
Build a recommendation engine that uses deterministic word-overlap (Jaccard) similarity to suggest relevant past Architecture Decision Records when making new decisions.
Generate proactive ADR suggestions when new technology options emerge — lab audio overview
Build a system that monitors technology updates and proactively suggests which existing Architecture Decision Records may need review based on rule-based impact analysis.
Build ADR coverage report showing undocumented architecture decisions — lab audio overview
Build a coverage analysis system that identifies services without required ADRs and generates gap reports.
Implement ADR review workflow with approval gates and expiry tracking — lab audio overview
Build a review workflow system with approval gates, reviewer validation, and category-specific expiry tracking for Architecture Decision Records.
Generate architecture governance compliance report for stakeholders — lab audio overview
Build a compliance reporting system that aggregates ADR data, coverage, reviews, and staleness into a weighted compliance score with executive summaries and detailed breakdowns.
