Interactive web application architecture advisor

A static web app: from 12 questions about a project it recommends the stack, architecture and configuration for Ruby on Rails 8, justifying every decision and adding an implementation plan.

12questions about the project
20layers of architectural decisions
92options in the knowledge base

01Challenge

Choosing a stack for a new project means dozens of interrelated decisions: rendering, frontend, queues, authentication, testing, deployment. Early mistakes are expensive to fix, and advice online is contradictory.

02Solution

  • A data-driven rules engine: every option has a base weight and rules that raise or lower it
  • Cross-layer rules keep the recommendations consistent with each other
  • Every recommendation explains itself: reasons, pros, costs and scored alternatives
  • A project generator command with the right flags, a list of libraries and a phased implementation plan
  • Head-to-head technology comparisons, a production-readiness checklist and a glossary

03Results

  • Published and free to use — no server and no database
  • Report export to Markdown and PDF, plus a shareable configuration link
  • Matching of similar real-world projects with a profile match percentage
