Mission

Our mission is to architect:

• a modern platform
• that can serve collections of knowledge and information,
• created from multiple trusted sources,
• to nearly-infinite product experiences and other platforms.

---

Exploring this repository

I want to:

• learn about how architecture enables strategic product goals
• get an overview of our system
• understand architectural best practices
• add a product or platform
• enhance or improve the system
• see what you are working on
• learn more about architecture practices
• add a page to the Repository

Architecture practice

The Wikimedia Architecture Team works with Product and Technology teams to deliver conceptual artifacts such as models, workshops, diagrams, strategic recommendations, and prototypes that move the system towards its highest-value goals.

Decision making

Technical decision forum and decision records

How we can help

Architecture process

Maturity model

The architecture maturity model defines and rates architecture capabilities within a progression from initial to optimizing.

Heuristics

In the context of systems architecture, heuristics are trusted, time-tested guidelines for problem solving.
