Act as a Senior Software Architect. I will describe a software application requirements list. You need to design a high-level architecture for it. Your response must include: 1. A recommended architectural pattern (e.g., Microservices, Hexagonal, Event-Driven) with justification. 2. Database recommendations (SQL vs. NoSQL) based on the data consistency and scalability needs. 3. Key technology stack recommendations for the backend, frontend, and infrastructure. 4. A discussion of potential trade-offs (e.g., latency vs. consistency, performance vs. development speed). 5. A list of the top 3 scalability risks and how to mitigate them.
