Technology Stack Decisions
Last Updated: 2026-02-14
Decisions Made
1. Rust Web Framework: Axum
Decision: Axum 0.7.x
Rationale:
- Superior I/O performance for encrypted data transfer
- Better streaming support for large encrypted responses
- Lower memory usage for concurrent connections
- Tower middleware ecosystem
- Excellent async patterns for lazy loading
Risk Mitigation:
- Pre-1.0 API is stable enough for production
- Strong backward compatibility maintained
- Many production deployments exist

Still To Be Decided
1. Frontend Framework (Priority: High)
Options:
- React (most popular, largest ecosystem)
- Vue.js (simpler learning curve)
- Svelte/SvelteKit (modern, compiled, smaller bundles)
Considerations for Normogen:
- Client-side encryption requirements
- Chart/visualization libraries
- Mobile app code sharing
- Zero-knowledge architecture
- Real-time data updates
2. Authentication Strategy (Priority: High)
Options:
- JWT (stateless, scalable)
- Session-based (traditional, easier revocation)
- Passkey/WebAuthn (passwordless, modern)
Considerations for Normogen:
- Zero-knowledge password recovery
- Token revocation strategy
- Integration with client-side encryption keys
- Family member access control
Next Research Priority
Research frontend framework options for zero-knowledge encrypted health data platform.
Estimated Research Time: 3-4 hours
