READ THE BOUNDARY

Choose state deliberately

State is an architectural decision with cost and failure implications. Start stateless, then add the smallest coordination primitive that your invariants require.

  • Write the invariant before selecting storage.
  • Define ownership and consistency expectations.
  • Document recovery, migration, and deletion behavior.
