I've created a custom guard for my routes and here is the implementation. There was another implementation as a global one but some routes won't need auth. And implement it using

@Get('test')
UseGuards(AuthGuard)

Received a new client a famous trainer wants a fitness app well gave me 40 days to complete the project starting a week from now will get my research started by tomorrow.Got multiple projects on my hand as a full project or section.
Jami(backend),beblocky(backend)…. I’ll be sharing the progress and hiccups here daily till each project is completed and deployed one project is my own side gig.

User service has been implemented only logging is remaining Ill implement it using winston and write it to file, micro service architecture is a really great way to loosen up and decouple different sections in your backend app use it wisely and separate the services for better usability using their business capabilities and domains for the auth service Im using rabbitmq and have used the topic exchange(I will share my blog post once I finish with the images about micro-services, pub/sub, queues and message brokers) it will clarify a lot about micro service architecture and message brokers I hope it will be a nice intro for beginners next will move to the consumers/subscribers of the auth service.

Truly impressed

A must watch episode from different aspect might have few takeaways from the situation and the leak if you have this much users(1.6M) consider few things at least...
1.Know what to encrypt and what not
2. Test your code as much as possible vulnerability wise frequent vulnerability assessment (preferably by an external entity)
3. Vibe code(if they did 🤷‍♂️) but have some clue about what you're doing
4. Secure your firebase buckets
5. Read a little about system architecture and avoid/limit access to data if not necessary(Principle of least privilege)
on the way read more about EXIF data practically metadata from images Read More you can use this data to map users location from the given image.

Most of you might need a VPS to deploy your projects one of the most affordable VPS providers ik is contabo.com has a relatively good price/spec ratio. Any other recommendation?
