What a TecDoc integration actually involves

The problem in one paragraph

Vehicle lookup, article matching, cross-references and supplier data: the data model behind automotive parts search.

Sample article body. The final text for this article will come from the Soft4Tech engineering team; this layout shows how headings, prose, code and diagrams are typeset.

What the architecture has to answer

Every architecture decision answers a question about change: which parts of the system will change together, who owns the data, and how failures are contained. Writing those questions down before choosing tools is most of the work.

A concrete example

A short code example shows how a boundary is expressed in practice. The point is not the syntax but the contract it makes explicit.

// Contract between two modules
interface PricingService {
  quote(article: ArticleId, customer: CustomerId): Promise<Offer>;
}

// The caller depends on the contract, never on the implementation.

Technology is a tool. Architecture is the advantage.

What to take away

Decide boundaries early, keep them explicit, and measure before optimizing. Everything else in this article follows from those three habits.
