CCA-F: Claude Certified Architect — Foundations

When you lack the domain expertise to know what considerations a robust solution needs — such as cache invalidation strategies, multiple cache layers, consistency guarantees, and failure/fallback modes for a caching layer — the most effective first step is to have Claude proactively ask clarifying questions (an 'interview') before any specification or code is written. This surfaces the unknowns you can't yet articulate yourself, ensuring the resulting plan and implementation account for production-grade concerns from the start, rather than being discovered reactively through trial-and-error iteration, guessed at via unresolved TBD markers, or bypassed by focusing only on the existing endpoint's code structure.
