🌲 Silvanus Platform - High Level Design

Project Silvanus is Archwood Group's strategic initiative to build a modern, scalable internal platform that will serve as the digital backbone for all business operations. This High-Level Design document outlines the technical architecture, implementation approach, and deliverables for Phase 1 (Q1 2026), which focuses on establishing the foundation and core architecture.

Key Phase 1 Objectives:

• Establish core platform architecture using monolith-first approach
• Implement fundamental services (authentication, user management, data layer)
• Deploy development and testing infrastructure on Azure
• Create CI/CD pipelines and development standards
• Build initial API framework with Azure Foundry AI integration

Recovery Objectives

Recovery Procedures

1. Detection: Automated monitoring alerts trigger incident
2. Assessment: On-call engineer evaluates severity
3. Communication: Stakeholders notified per escalation matrix
4. Recovery: Execute recovery runbook for affected component
5. Validation: Verify system functionality and data integrity
6. Post-mortem: Document incident and improvement actions
