# ADR for Payment Boundary
|
|
|
|
## Context
|
|
The payment processing system is pivotal for the business operations, therefore a well-defined boundary is necessary to manage dependencies, isolate services, and ensure the resilience of the application.
|
|
|
|
## Decision
|
|
We will implement a microservices architecture for payment processing, with the following boundaries: 1. Payment Service, 2. Notification Service, 3. Reporting Service. These services will communicate through well-defined APIs and will be independently deployable.
|
|
|
|
## Alternatives
|
|
1. Monolithic architecture - rejected due to tight coupling and scalability issues.
|
|
2. Service-oriented architecture - rejected due to complexity in service integrations compared to microservices.
|
|
|
|
## Consequences
|
|
This decision allows for better scalability and maintainability of the payment processing system but will introduce challenges in inter-service communication and data consistency management. |
