## 📝 Implementation Notes for Future Development

### Code Organization Principles
1. **Maintain Clean Architecture**: Keep clear separation between domain, service, and infrastructure layers
2. **Interface-First Design**: Always define interfaces before implementations for better testability
3. **Error Handling**: Use the established error framework (`internal/errors`) for consistent error handling
4. **Logging**: Use structured logging with zap throughout the application
5. **Configuration**: Add new config options to `internal/config/config.go` with proper validation

### Security Guidelines
1. **Input Validation**: Always validate inputs using the validation middleware (`internal/middleware/validation.go`)
2. **Token Security**: Use the crypto utilities (`internal/crypto/token.go`) for all token operations
3. **Permission Checks**: Always validate permissions using the repository layer before operations
4. **Audit Logging**: Log all security-relevant operations with user context
5. **Secrets**: Never hardcode secrets; use environment variables or secret management systems

### Database Guidelines
1. **Migrations**: Always create both up and down migrations for schema changes
2. **Transactions**: Use database transactions for multi-step operations
3. **Indexing**: Add appropriate indexes for query performance
4. **Connection Management**: Use the existing connection pool configuration
5. **Error Handling**: Wrap database errors with the application error framework

### Testing Guidelines
1. **Test Structure**: Follow the existing test structure in `test/` directory
2. **Mock Dependencies**: Use interfaces for easy mocking in tests
3. **Test Data**: Use the test helpers for consistent test data creation
4. **Integration Tests**: Test against real database instances when possible
5. **Coverage**: Aim for >80% test coverage for critical paths

### Performance Guidelines
1. **Metrics**: Use the metrics system (`internal/metrics`) to track performance
2. **Caching**: Implement caching at the service layer, not repository layer
3. **Database Queries**: Optimize queries and use appropriate indexes
4. **Memory Management**: Be mindful of memory allocations in hot paths
5. **Concurrency**: Use proper synchronization for shared resources

### Deployment Guidelines
1. **Environment Variables**: Use environment-based configuration for all deployments
2. **Health Checks**: Ensure health endpoints are properly configured
3. **Graceful Shutdown**: Implement proper shutdown procedures for all services
4. **Resource Limits**: Set appropriate CPU and memory limits
5. **Monitoring**: Ensure metrics and logging are properly configured

### Code Quality Standards
1. **Go Standards**: Follow standard Go conventions and best practices
2. **Documentation**: Document all public APIs and complex business logic
3. **Error Messages**: Provide clear, actionable error messages
4. **Code Reviews**: Require code reviews for all changes
5. **Static Analysis**: Use tools like golangci-lint for code quality

### Security Best Practices
1. **Principle of Least Privilege**: Grant minimum necessary permissions
2. **Defense in Depth**: Implement multiple layers of security
3. **Regular Updates**: Keep dependencies updated for security patches
4. **Secure Defaults**: Use secure configurations by default
5. **Security Testing**: Include security testing in the development process

### Operational Considerations
1. **Monitoring**: Implement comprehensive monitoring and alerting
2. **Backup Strategy**: Ensure regular backups and test restore procedures
3. **Disaster Recovery**: Have documented disaster recovery procedures
4. **Capacity Planning**: Monitor resource usage and plan for growth
5. **Documentation**: Keep operational documentation up to date
