Architecture Decision Log

Why I chose what I chose

Technical decisions with reasoning — every choice has a why.

Why Supabase over FirebaseSpindare

Real-time scaleSupabase Realtime handled 10K+ concurrent challenge reactions with lower latency than Firebase's WebSocket implementation.

Data integrityPostgreSQL RLS enforces privacy rules at the DB layer — no bloated middleware needed.

Dev velocityGoTrue Auth shipped the full V2 authentication flow in under 48 hours, including OAuth and magic links.

Why Expo over bare React NativeBoth apps

OTA updatesExpo's OTA updates ship bug fixes without App Store review cycles.

Build pipelineEAS Build replaced a complex native setup with a single command — critical for a small team.

Native modulesExpo's dev client allows bare native modules for specific features while keeping the Expo workflow everywhere else.

Why TypeScript everywhereAll projects

Bug preventionWith 150k+ LOC across Spindare, TypeScript prevents entire classes of runtime errors before they reach users.

RefactoringRenaming a prop instantly surfaces every affected usage across 300+ components — essential at scale.
