|
## 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
