By identifying the key architecture characteristics (capabilities) for this solution we can then identify the toward which architecture style we are push toward hence our best solution. Best practice is to identify seven or less architecture characteristics (capabilities). These, along with the implicit architecture characteristics, will then feed into the overall architecture of the MonitorMe system.
performance responsiveness availability fault-tolerance scalability/elasticity data integrity data consistency adaptability extensibility interoperability concurrency deployability testability abstraction workflow configurability recoverability reliability authorisation agility cost domain-partitioning evolvability integration
| Top 3 | Driving Characteristics | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Y | Interoperability/Integration | Integration of patient's vital sign devices with MonitorMe (analyzing streaming data), and with MyMedicalData. |
| Data Integrity | Vital sign data analyzed and recorded through MonitorMe must be as accurate as possible as the human lives are at stake. | |
| Scalability/Elasticity | StayHealthy, Inc. is looking towards adding more vital sign monitoring devices for MonitorMe in the future. | |
| Y | [Real-Time] Performance | Vital signs data is send to consolidated monitoring screen with an average response time of 1 second or less. |
| Y | High Availability | System needs to be available all the times as the medical professional need to monitor patients vitals and take decision based on them. |
| Deployability | We are proposing a combination of microservices and event-driven architecture with a service for each device ,being able to deploy the whole system seemlessly is important. |
The following are a bedrock of architecture characteristics. They may not affect the structure but will feed into the overall architecture.
- Usability
- Security, authentication and authorization
- Maintainability
- Simplicity or observability
Note that Configurability was considered for patients.
