​

Key Technical Decisions

​

Decision Log

​

2025-11-09 - Use Supabase PostgreSQL for Primary Database

• Linear Issue: OVE-51
• Decision Made By: @software-architect
• Rationale:
  • Free tier provides 500MB storage (sufficient for MVP)
  • Built-in Row Level Security for multi-tenancy
  • Real-time subscriptions for future features
  • Excellent Flutter SDK support
  • Hosted solution (no DevOps overhead)
• Alternatives Considered: MongoDB (no RLS), Firebase (vendor lock-in), self-hosted PostgreSQL (DevOps complexity)
• Impact: Enables rapid MVP development with strong security foundation

​

2025-11-09 - Async Job Queue Pattern for AI Processing

• Linear Issue: OVE-51, OVE-53
• Decision Made By: @software-architect, @backend-developer
• Rationale:
  • Vercel Hobby Plan has 10-second function timeout
  • AI prompt generation takes 8-15 seconds
  • Cannot afford Vercel Pro ($20/month) during MVP
  • Async pattern with Vercel KV (Redis) provides workaround
• Alternatives Considered: Vercel Pro (too expensive), Synchronous API (would timeout), Third-party queue (adds complexity)
• Impact: Enables AI features on free tier, requires polling UX pattern in frontend

​

2025-11-09 - Flutter for iOS Frontend

• Linear Issue: OVE-51
• Decision Made By: @software-architect
• Rationale:
  • Cross-platform foundation (Android possible in future)
  • Cupertino widgets provide iOS-native feel
  • Single codebase reduces development time
  • Strong community and package ecosystem
  • BLoC pattern provides clean architecture
• Alternatives Considered: Native Swift (iOS-only, longer development), React Native (performance concerns)
• Impact: Faster MVP development while maintaining iOS-native UX

​

2025-11-09 - AI Provider Abstraction Layer

• Linear Issue: OVE-51, OVE-53
• Decision Made By: @software-architect
• Rationale:
  • Development with Ollama (local, free) saves API costs
  • Production with OpenAI GPT-5 (cloud, paid) provides best quality
  • Strategy pattern enables environment-based switching
  • Reduces development iteration costs
• Alternatives Considered: OpenAI-only (expensive during dev), Ollama-only (lower quality)
• Impact: Enables cost-effective development while maintaining production quality
