Services

Service Database Engine Schema Tables API Endpoints
svc-guest-profiles PostgreSQL 15 guests 5 9

Data Ownership

Every data entity has exactly one owning service. Other services access it read-only through APIs.

Data Entity Owning Service Read Access
Guest profiles svc-guest-profiles All services (read-only via API)
Guest certifications svc-guest-profiles svc-safety-compliance, svc-guide-management
Medical info svc-guest-profiles svc-emergency-response (read-only)

Data Stores

svc-guest-profiles

  • Engine: PostgreSQL 15
  • Schema: guests
  • Tables: guest_profiles, certifications, medical_info, emergency_contacts, adventure_history
  • Features:
    • PII encrypted at rest (AES-256)
    • Composite index on (last_name, date_of_birth)
    • Soft delete with GDPR data retention policy
  • Volume: ~800 new profiles/day peak season
  • Backup: Continuous WAL archiving, daily base backup, 90-day PITR (GDPR)

Bounded Context Rules

These rules are non-negotiable for this domain.

  1. Guest identity resolution always flows through svc-guest-profiles — services MUST NOT maintain shadow guest records
  2. PII is encrypted at rest (AES-256) with GDPR-compliant retention policies
  3. Identity verification uses four-field matching (ADR-007)
  4. Temporary guest profiles have a 90-day TTL with merge-on-return semantics (ADR-008)
