About the Persistence Architecture Decision 2026 Wheel

Use this wheel when a team wants a lightweight way to select a candidate persistence architecture for a decision record. It is best suited for workshops where alternatives are already known and the goal is to prompt a structured discussion. The options cover operational simplicity, relational scalability, document flexibility, and event-sourced auditability. After spinning, teams should still document the context, alternatives, tradeoffs, and rationale before acting on the result.
