Two nice quotes from "Strategic Monoliths and Microservices" by @VaughnVernon and Tomasz Jaskula:

"𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀. 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀."

"𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁, 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁"

This applies to nearly every Design Decision.
I break it down to:
Do we need to design it with pattern X now?
-> Yes => lets do it
-> No
-> Do we see that we need it (maybe) later on?
-> Yes/Maybe => Design it to make a transition as easy as possible in the furture
-> No => Take the easiest and fastest Design to make progress
@pebo @VaughnVernon I like this very much. A generic decision template keeping you on the simplest possible solution.
