Which database would you advise for OpenEhr, and is there documentation about more details for that choice?

@Bert_Verhees One of the things I was thinking about / wondering given my understanding of the openEHR system structure is how the main EHR ‘database’ operates under significant load from multiple users across regions. I’m sure i’m not seeing this correctly, but isn’t the main EHR database a signif…

A database is always possible a single point of failure, from that perspective OpenEhr is not unique. But that risk is very much mitigated with mirroring in cloud technology with mirrored databases on several geological locations and also a local mirror for when the internet goes down. Also your ke…

Hi! [image] woodpk: but my current concept of EHR doesn’t seem to fit with the general micro-service model. From my understanding each micro-service (bounded by business context that is determined by behavior/function) owns its own data For many use-cases for a specific healthcare provider (…

Hi everybody, I think it generally makes sense to do horizontal partitioning on the EHRs. I think what could require some more attention/implementation is “distributed” versioning: This would work similar as git: there is a master CDR and the slave CDRs (like the database of a particular applicatio…

It is all arranged by the cloud providers, you don’t need to worry about that as a customer. Even if you have local databases, synchronisation can happen as a cloud service, because you can add local machines to the cloud mechanism. Bert

Thanks for this interesting contribution Bert

[image] QEWD.js great video on VM-style DBs Apps Rob Tweed had made a masterful video ( here on YouTube ), very nicely produced on his QEWD.js framework and its seamless DB back-end. I’ve posted it here, because although it’s about DBs, it’s really the back-end of a framewor…

Good framework, abstracting the database layer and making quick development possible. IMHO, The best suggestion in this thread.

hi, what is your idea about Apache HBase? we are developing an OpenEHR based system and using HBase for our db. it would be great if we have @thomas.beale opinion too. thanks
