# MaintainX Reference Architecture

## Overview
Production-grade architecture patterns for building scalable, maintainable MaintainX integrations.

## Prerequisites
- Understanding of distributed systems
- Cloud platform experience
- MaintainX API familiarity

## Instructions
Follow these high-level steps to implement maintainx-reference-architecture:

1. Review the prerequisites and ensure your environment is configured
2. Follow the detailed implementation guide for step-by-step code examples
3. Validate your implementation against the output checklist below

For full implementation details, load: `Read(plugins/saas-packs/maintainx-pack/skills/maintainx-reference-architecture/references/implementation-guide.md)`

## Output
- Event-driven architecture pattern
- Sync gateway for bi-directional sync
- Multi-tenant architecture
- CQRS with event sourcing
- Microservices integration

## Error Handling
| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| 401 Unauthorized | Verify API key in environment variables |
| 429 Rate Limited | Implement exponential backoff, reduce request frequency |
| 500 Server Error | Retry with backoff, check MaintainX status page |

## Examples

**Basic usage**: Apply maintainx reference architecture to a standard project setup with default configuration options.

**Advanced scenario**: Customize maintainx reference architecture for production environments with multiple constraints and team-specific requirements.
