# Architecture
|
|
|
|
When developing a feature that requires architectural design, or changing the fundamental design of an existing feature, discuss it with a Frontend Architecture Expert.
|
|
|
|
A Frontend Architect is an expert who makes high-level Frontend design decisions
|
|
and decides on technical standards, including coding standards and frameworks.
|
|
|
|
Architectural decisions should be accessible to everyone, so please document
|
|
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/).

## Widget Architecture
|
|
|
|
The [Plan stage](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/development/dev/fe-plan/)
|
|
is refactoring the right sidebar to consist of **widgets**. They have a specific architecture to be
|
|
reusable and to expose an interface that can be used by external Vue applications on the page.
|
|
Learn more about the [widget architecture](widgets.md).
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
You can find [documentation about the desired architecture](vue.md) for a new
|
|
feature built with Vue.js.
