What it shows

  • RFCs evaluate design tradeoffs and alternatives before building.
  • ADRs record architectural context so teams know why decisions were made.
  • Runbooks provide step-by-step triage commands for high-stress incidents.

The takeaway

Great technical documentation answers not just how a system works, but why it was built that way.
