Pipeline architecture.

From ingest to materialised view — the parts that matter and the parts engineers usually skip.

SPEC / 03.A

System constraints.

Three constraints define the design envelope. Everything that follows — partitioning, state strategy, backpressure handling — is a consequence of these numbers, not a free choice.
