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:
## [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:
- Python - Good for rapid development, rich ecosystem
- Go - Better performance, strong concurrency support
- 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:
- PostgreSQL - Relational, ACID guarantees
- Redis - In-memory, fast but volatile
- 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.
