Welcome to the **High-Level Design Docs** repository.
This is a collection of high-level design (HLD) documentation for software architecture,
system design, and other related topics. The purpose of this repository is to provide a
structured, comprehensive view of architectural decisions, patterns, and system overviews
to guide developers, engineers, and architects in building scalable, maintainable, and efficient systems.

## Overview
This repository contains design documentation for various system components, services,
and architecture decisions, with a focus on high-level design. These documents help visualize
and communicate the structure and flow of complex systems, aiding teams in understanding
the overall architecture before diving into implementation.
## Purpose
The goal of the **High-Level Design Docs** repository is to:
- Provide a centralized place for all high-level architectural decisions and design documentation.
- Standardize the format for presenting high-level designs and system overviews.
- Serve as a reference for both new and existing projects to ensure consistency in design patterns and principles.
- Facilitate collaboration between architects, engineers, and stakeholders.
## Documentation Structure
The repository is organized by different system components and features.
Each folder contains relevant HLD documentation for that particular area.
A typical structure might look like this:
Each document follows a similar template and contains key sections such as:
- **Overview**: High-level description of the design or system.
- **Components**: Breakdown of key components and their responsibilities.
- **Interactions**: Explanation of how components interact with each other.
- **Considerations**: Design trade-offs, scalability, security, and performance considerations.
- **Future Enhancements**: Proposed improvements or potential evolution of the design.
## How to Contribute
We welcome contributions to the repository!
