Pattern
Conventional system of record
A database, an API, identity, and a signed audit log operated by one organisation.
Use it when
One party is trusted to keep the record, and outsiders do not need to verify state for themselves.
Do not use it when
Independent parties must agree a shared state without appointing you as the operator.
- System of record
- Access control
- Signed audit log
- Backups you can restore
Linked components
- No code component. That is a feature of this pattern.
