The architecture decision gets recorded — the trade-off, not just the conclusion
Transcriba transcribes your design review or postmortem in Meet and Teams and builds a summary with the decision, what was ruled out, and the points that came up in the discussion. No bot in the call. You review and fill in what's missing.
Summary — Design review: upload processing
- Decision: process async via a queue, not in the request
- Ruled out: process in the request itself — blows the ALB timeout on a large upload
- Ruled out: Lambda — the 15-min ceiling and payload limit don't cover a large file
- Accepted risk: manual retry if the queue fails (fine for current volume)
Where it fits
Design review, live RFC, incident postmortem, cross-team architecture sync, technical refinement.
The problem today
Six months later someone asks 'why did we pick a queue over a synchronous call here?' and the answer is in the head of whoever was in the call — who may not even be on the team anymore. Almost nobody writes an ADR — and when they do, it's from memory, a week later.
How Transcriba solves it
The summary comes back with the decision, the options that came up, and the arguments that were said out loud — raw material for an ADR to review and complete (what stayed on the whiteboard doesn't make it in). In a postmortem, it becomes a timeline + action items without anyone having to be the scribe during the incident.
