# Decisions

This document captures explicit human choices on unclear aspects of the implementation. Each decision includes the context, options considered, and the chosen approach with rationale.

## Decision Template

Use this format for each decision:

```markdown
## [Decision Topic]

**Context:** [Why does this decision need to be made?]

**Options Considered:**
1. [Option A] - [Brief description]
2. [Option B] - [Brief description]

**Decision:** [Chosen option]

**Rationale:** [Why this choice was made]

**Date:** YYYY-MM-DD

## Example Decisions

### Language Choice

**Context:** Need to choose implementation language for the new service.

**Options Considered:**
1. Python - Good for rapid development, rich ecosystem
2. Go - Better performance, strong concurrency support
3. Rust - Maximum performance and safety

**Decision:** Python

**Rationale:** Team is most familiar with Python, and performance requirements don't justify the learning curve of Go or Rust. We can optimize later if needed.

### Database Storage

**Context:** Need to store user session data.

**Options Considered:**
1. PostgreSQL - Relational, ACID guarantees
2. Redis - In-memory, fast but volatile
3. DynamoDB - Managed NoSQL, scalable

**Decision:** Redis with PostgreSQL backup

**Rationale:** Redis for fast session access, PostgreSQL for persistence. Hybrid approach gives us speed and durability.
