Decisions

Back in 2018 the team decided to start documenting all kinds of decisions with ADR documents (Architecture decision record documents).

You can read a bit about ADRs here (opens new window).

Since we started using ADRs they are spread through multiple repositories and this page serves to try and tie them back together.
