Architecture Decisions That Matter
- •Region pinning — ap-southeast-2 for AU, ap-southeast-4 for Melbourne
- •Tenant isolation — schema-per-tenant for finance/health, shared schema for SMB
- •Notifiable Data Breach — 72-hour OAIC reporting baked into incident response
- •Single Touch Payroll — if you touch payroll, ATO STP Phase 2 is mandatory
