Solana Cloud Capstone: Scoping & Acceptance Criteria — Forge College

Ready to avoid rework and align your team before writing code? Scoping a Solana Cloud project up front defines what success looks like and reduces surprises during implementation and rollout.

What you'll learn: This lesson teaches how to turn deployment guardrails and operational checklists into a measurable capstone scope. You will learn to write clear, testable acceptance criteria (functional and verification checklists) and craft a high-level Solana Cloud architecture in prose that maps on-chain programs, runtime components, and off-chain services to ownership. The lesson shows how to identify integration touchpoints — APIs, event flows, data stores, and CI/CD gates — and assign responsibility for each. You will also learn to evaluate performance and cost tradeoffs that influence service choices, and specify access and security posture requirements that translate into rollout verification goals. By the end you will be able to produce a concise one-page scope document that guides build and ops work.

Who this is for: Beginner-level developers and product owners familiar with basic blockchain and Solana concepts who want a repeatable approach to define project boundaries before coding. No advanced implementation required — focus is planning, acceptance criteria, and architecture decisions.

Key topics covered:
- Defining clear, testable acceptance criteria and verification checklists
- High-level Solana Cloud architecture: mapping programs, runtime, and off-chain components to responsibilities
- Integration touchpoints (APIs, event flows, data stores, CI/CD) and ownership mapping
- Performance and cost tradeoffs that influence component choices and prioritization
- Access control, security posture, rollout gates, and verification goals
- Producing a one-page scope document: prose architecture, touchpoint mapping, and rollout verification
