+## Requirements
+
+1. Enable persistence of context across restarts [reference](https://trello.com/c/J5xWa9r0)
+2. Enable shared context when multiple instances of node-red are running the same flows [reference](https://trello.com/c/J5xWa9r0)
+3. The model should follow that of the existing storage plugin mechanism. [reference](https://trello.com/c/J5xWa9r0)
+
+## Considerations
+
+1. Current [plugin model interface](https://github.com/node-red/node-red/blob/master/red/runtime/storage/index.js#L47) is specifically designed with getters/setters for specific data types (flows, settings, sessions).  
+2. The global context is dynamically typed, with the 'interface' being that of a [context](https://github.com/node-red/node-red/blob/e4c951984a45b33ffa65e1246efdab47066882b6/red/runtime/nodes/context.js#L21) with dynamic getter / setter functions accepting keys.
+
+## Approaches
+
+1.  Create an inherited interface with dynamic getter / setters, extend prototype to create [storageModuleInterface](https://github.com/node-red/node-red/blob/master/red/runtime/storage/index.js#L47).
+2.  Modify the [storageModuleInterface](https://github.com/node-red/node-red/blob/master/red/runtime/storage/index.js#L47) to include  dynamic getter / setters.
