Coming from a research background, we wanted the system to be optimal. As a result, we often picked the more complex solution from the design space and, as a vertically integrated system, that solution became the only one available to use with Electric.

For example, we designed the [DDLX rule system](https://electric-sql/docs/api/ddlx) in a certain way, because we wanted authorization that supported finality of local writes. However, rules (and our rules) are only one way to do authorization in a local-first system. Many applications would be happy with a simpler solution, such as Postgres RLS or a server authoritative middleware.

These decisions not only made Electric more complex to use but also more complex to develop. Despite our best efforts, this has slowed us down and tested the patience of even the most forgiving of our early adopters.
