Architecture as Code
The system of record for engineering decisions.
The Problem
Documentation rots. Wiki pages become stale. Meeting notes get lost.
Technical decisions that shaped your architecture disappear into Slack threads. Six months later, no one remembers why you chose PostgreSQL over MongoDB, or why that migration was abandoned halfway through.
The new hire asks "why did we do it this way?" and the answer is "I think someone had a reason..."
The Graph Survives
Arbtr doesn't store documents. It stores decisions and their relationships.
When you change a decision, you see what depends on it. When you onboard someone new, they see why things are the way they are—not just what the current state is.
Every decision knows what depends on it. Change propagates visibly.
This is Strategic Debt made visible. Not just "we should fix this someday" but "if we change PostgreSQL, here are the 12 things that break."
For CTOs and Principal Engineers
If you've ever:
- Inherited a codebase and asked "why did they choose X?"
- Had a new hire re-propose something you rejected 2 years ago
- Watched architectural drift happen because no one remembered the original constraints
- Needed to explain to the board why a "simple migration" will take 6 months
Arbtr is your System of Record.
What Makes Arbtr Different
Graph, Not Documents
Decisions are nodes. Relationships are edges. You navigate architecture like you navigate code—by following dependencies.
Magic Paste
Paste a Slack rant or email thread. AI extracts the decision, positions, and arguments. No forms. No friction.
Relationships > Voting
We don't optimize for democracy. We optimize for understanding why decisions were made and what they affect.
Strategic Linter
Like ESLint for your architecture. Conflicts get flagged. Circular dependencies get caught. Drift becomes visible.
