System Design Overview​


System Design is an essential step in software development: it allows teams to assess the technical feasibility, functionality, and performance of a system and to make informed decisions based on the potential risks and impact on dependencies.

By choosing the right approach and tools for your system design you can ensure that your team not only understands the architecture in detail but they can also collaborate effectively to refine and evolve it, steering your project towards success.

Features​


The Multiplayer System Design features include:

  • Seamless Cross-team Collaboration | Enable your teams to work together, anytime, anywhere.

    Design new features, communicate API changes and fix bugs without having to find a time that works in everyone’s time zone.

  • Streamlined System Design Reviews | Refine your vision and gather feedback with ease.

    Make changes safely with insight into how they could affect your distributed architecture - from third party software to how customers and clients consume your services. Socialize your solutions with all relevant teams and understand the potential consequences before jumping into code.

  • Contextual Views | Visualize complex systems with the right level of detail depending on your audience.

    Create filtered views for Developers, Architects, DevOps, QA, Business Leaders. Zoom in to see intricate details or zoom out for higher levels of abstraction.

Benefits​


These are the benefits of leveraging the Multiplayer System Design features.

Productive Cross-team Communication​

With real-time and async communication across every stage of the system design process, your team will achieve a cohesive understanding of the system architecture. Whether they’re designing features, iterating on API changes, or resolving bugs, every team member will be aligned, informed, and confident in their work.

Cut down on unproductive lengthy meetings, costly misunderstandings, backtracking, and siloed, duplicated work.

Reduced Technical Debt​

Reduce the accumulation of Architectural Technical Debt (ATD) by visualizing the implications of your system changes, aligning on the risks early in the development process, and making informed trade-offs together with your team.

Prevent the need for costly rework, ad hoc fixes, non-scalable workarounds, and increased maintenance workload.

Saved Time​

Spend time where it counts: bringing your software to life.

Save valuable hours and days that might otherwise be lost manually updating documentation and static diagrams, digging through multiple sources of information, tedious alignment meetings, and complex troubleshooting.
