# ADR-001: Use PostgreSQL for primary database
 
## Status
Accepted | Superseded by ADR-XXX | Deprecated
 
## Date
2025-01-15
 
## Context
We need a primary database for the task management application. Key requirements:
-Relational data model (users, tasks, teams with relationships)
-ACID transactions for task state changes
-Support for full-text search on task content
-Managed hosting available (for small team, limited ops capacity)
 
## Decision
Use PostgreSQL with Prisma ORM.
 
## Alternatives Considered
 
### MongoDB
-Pros: Flexible schema, easy to start with
-Cons: Our data is inherently relational; would need to manage relationships manually
-Rejected: Relational data in a document store leads to complex joins or data duplication
 
### SQLite
-Pros: Zero configuration, embedded, fast for reads
-Cons: Limited concurrent write support, no managed hosting for production
-Rejected: Not suitable for multi-user web application in production
 
### MySQL
-Pros: Mature, widely supported
-Cons: PostgreSQL has better JSON support, full-text search, and ecosystem tooling
-Rejected: PostgreSQL is the better fit for our feature requirements
 
## Consequences
-Prisma provides type-safe database access and migration management
-We can use PostgreSQL's full-text search instead of adding Elasticsearch
-Team needs PostgreSQL knowledge (standard skill, low risk)
-Hosting on managed service (Supabase, Neon, or RDS)

// BAD: Restates the code
// Increment counter by 1
counter += 1;
// GOOD: Explains non-obvious intent
// Rate limit uses a sliding window — reset counter at window boundary,
// not on a fixed schedule, to prevent burst attacks at window edges
if (now - windowStart > WINDOW_SIZE_MS) {
  counter = 0;
  windowStart = now;
}

// Don't comment self-explanatory code
function calculateTotal(items: CartItem[]): number {
  return items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price * item.quantity, 0);
}
// Don't leave TODO comments for things you should just do now
// TODO: add error handling  ← Just add it
// Don't leave commented-out code
// const oldImplementation = () => { ... }  ← Delete it, git has history
