Quality Attributes & Trade-offs

This segment covers quality attributes that shape architectural decisions and the trade-offs that arise between competing goals. It describes criteria and mental models for evaluating architectures, common conflicts, and the impact of choices on stability, security, performance, maintainability, or scalability. The focus is on structuring and justifying quality decisions rather than specific patterns or operational measures.
