title: Solutioning - how to decide on the best architecture for your website or application?
body: <p>I'm a newbie to architecture and solutioning.  I would like to know how to get started in this area.  </p>
  
  <p>Lets say I had a web site which would receive heavy traffic, had 200 forms, had a database of 200GB, how would I decide the best architecture and technology to use to create this web site?  Also the same question applies to a very large application.</p>
  
  <p>How does one make these decisions and convince the user of the best technology that they should use?</p>
  
  <p>Please let me know your thoughts, how to get started, if there are any articles I can read and more.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for your time and help.</p>
