Have you independently designed the architecture?

Yes, architecture design involves defining the main components of the system, their interactions, and choosing technologies. For example, when creating a web application in Python, I might design the architecture using layers: controllers (Flask/Django), services for business logic, and repositories for database interaction. It is important to consider scalability, fault tolerance, and ease of maintenance.

An example of a simple architecture:

• Web framework (Flask)
• Service layer (business logic)
• Data access layer (ORM, e.g., SQLAlchemy)

This approach helps to separate responsibilities and facilitates testing.
