The Architect Co-Pilot

Before you write a single line of code, you have to design the system. AI is a fantastic sounding board for architectural decisions, helping you foresee scaling issues before they happen.

The Brainstorm Prompt

Goal: I am designing a real-time chat application like WhatsApp.

Context: We expect 10,000 concurrent users. We are a small team with a limited budget, so we want to rely on managed cloud services rather than maintaining our own bare-metal servers.

Task: Propose 2 different backend architectures. Compare them across these metrics: Cost, Development Speed, and Scalability. Detail the database schema for the messages table.
