Hi everyone, I'm developing v2 of EHR system. Should I use FHIR resources as your storage format? My archive contains over 30 million patients and lots of related information. if I design data storage model base on FHIR resources , there will be a lot of Observation record used, the number can reach almost 200 million records.
Please give me advides! I considered using micorservice architecture, Does anyone have experience with this architecture? Please share with everyone
Thank you

There's no expectation that you would use FHIR as a persistence layer - most EHRs don't. If you're interested in exploring it, you can look at the various considerations for using FHIR as a persistence layer here: #storage for FHIR

@Dongtu Why don't you simply use a ready-to-use FHIR server as backend for your application? I assume you have special query requirements which are not available in commercial FHIR servers?
