# Architecture
2021-03-11 19:13:27 +05:30
When developing a feature that requires architectural design, or changing the fundamental design of an existing feature, discuss it with a Frontend Architecture Expert.
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
A Frontend Architect is an expert who makes high-level Frontend design decisions
and decides on technical standards, including coding standards and frameworks.
2022-08-27 11:52:29 +05:30
Architectural decisions should be accessible to everyone, so document
2017-08-17 22:00:37 +05:30
them in the relevant Merge Request discussion or by updating our documentation
when appropriate.

You can find the Frontend Architecture experts on the [team page ](https://about.gitlab.com/company/team/ ).
