What Kind of Database Do You Use? Do You Use A Static or Dynamic/configurable Domain Model? What Is The Main Focus of Your Use Cases?

The document discusses factors to consider when determining whether to use JPA for a project, including database type (NoSQL vs relational), domain model flexibility, use case focus (CRUD, reporting, etc.), and complexity of queries. It provides a decision tree to help evaluate these factors and determine if JPA is a good fit or alternative options may be better suited.
