# Gradle architecture documentation

This directory contains documentation that describes Gradle's architecture and how the various pieces fit together and work.

## Architecture decision records (ADRs)

The Gradle team uses ADRs to record architectural decisions that the team has made.

See [Architecture decisions records](standards) for the list of ADRs.

## Architecture Standards

**Experimental!**

We'd like to capture our architectural decisions about the build tool as [Architectural Decision Records (ADRs)](https://adr.github.io/).
For now we just have this global repository of ADRs.
If we see fit, we can break these out to per-platform ones, or keep a hybrid approach to having global and platform-specific ADSs.

Our aim is to keep the process lightweight and approachable.

## Prerequisites

Docker installed on your machine. Download the relevant installer from [here](https://www.docker.com/community-edition#/download).

## Run Standalone MinIO on Docker

#### Revisions

Control plane revisions allow deploying multiple versions of the control plane in the same cluster.
This allows safe [canary upgrades](https://istio.io/latest/docs/setup/upgrade/canary/)

```yaml
revision: my-revision-name

## 1. Prerequisites

* Familiarity with [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/overview/).
* Docker installed on your machine. Download the relevant installer from [here](https://www.docker.com/community-edition#/download).

## 2. Run Distributed MinIO on Docker Compose

  - IMPORTANT NOTE: if the first import fails, you have to select and apply `Synchronization disabled`, then repeat the step above.
    Otherwise, TeamCity complains "Can't find the previous revision, please commit current settings first".
  - If anything bad happens, feel free to delete the project you created and retry (you may need to apply `Synchronization disabled` before deleting it).
