The team has production experience with both PostgreSQL and MongoDB, and the data model is relational (accounts, invoices, line items with foreign keys).</p> <h2 id="decision">Decision</h2> <p>We will use PostgreSQL 16, managed via RDS, as the primary datastore for all new services unless a specific workload has a strong document-store or time-series justification.</p> <h2 id="consequences">Consequences</h2> <ul> <li>Schema migrations require a formal review (see <code>docs/migrations</code>).</li> <li>We standardize on one connection-pooling strategy (PgBouncer) across services, simplifying on-call runbooks.</li> <li>Document-shaped data (e.g. audit logs) will need a deliberate exception request rather than defaulting to Postgres JSONB columns.</li> </ul>
