# Executive Summary: Database Selection for Customer Services

**Generated:** 2026-01-11
**Source:** [[ADR - Use PostgreSQL for Customer Data]]
**Audience:** Executive

---

## One-Line Summary

We're using PostgreSQL as our database for all customer transaction records in the new cloud system.

## Why This Matters

This decision affects how we store and protect customer payment data. PostgreSQL provides the financial-grade security we need while reducing our monthly infrastructure costs by approximately £700 compared to alternatives.

## Key Points

- Customer transaction data will be stored securely with bank-level protection
- Our team already has the skills to manage this system (no additional training needed)
- We can scale to handle 10 million records in the first year without changes

## Impact

| Area | Impact |
|------|--------|
| **Cost** | £2,400/month (£700 saving vs alternative) |
| **Timeline** | Implementation begins Q2 2026 |
| **Risk** | Low - proven technology, team expertise |
| **Benefit** | Secure, cost-effective data storage |

## Recommendation / Decision

Use PostgreSQL on AWS for all customer-facing transaction data. This gives us the security guarantees we need for financial data while leveraging existing team skills and keeping costs competitive.

## Questions This Answers

- How are we protecting customer payment data?
- What's the cost of the new database system?
- Do we have the skills to support this?
