🧠 Purpose

We're at a point where the product has matured enough, and instead of shipping more features right now, we're taking a short pause to:

Review and clean our entire codebase
Ensure everyone on the team fully understands all parts of the system
Standardize structure, naming, and conventions
Remove tech debt, dead code, and inconsistencies
Document decisions and logic
Make the repo ready for scaling, contributors, and onboarding

This is happening live on Teams over one or two sessions.

✅ Core Goals

Clean, consistent codebase with clear naming and structure
Shared understanding of code and system design
All developers can confidently review PRs across the app
No more "mystery logic" or unused code lurking around
Code and file layout aligns with features and UI flows
Dead code, commented code, and legacy patterns removed
Unused DB fields identified and removed
UI-to-code walkthroughs for top user flows
Final shared checklist and internal documentation created

📋 Live Session Agenda

Each dev walks through the parts of the app they wrote or maintained. As we go, we’ll collectively track cleanup items and improvement areas.

Topics to Cover

📁 Directory Structure Review & Cleanup
🧾 File Naming & Naming Conventions
🧠 Function-by-function walkthrough (explain all logic)
💥 Remove unused files, folders, and commented code
📦 Audit & clean DB schema — remove unused fields
🔄 Refactor or rename vague functions/components
🔍 Trace 2–3 key UI flows → underlying logic
🧪 Edge case testing + known issue validation
🧹 TODO / FIXME / LEGACY cleanup
🧰 Shared util / component deduplication
📚 Dev onboarding doc and naming/style guide
📦 Branch cleanup & dead code PRs
🔐 Permissions / role logic audit
📋 Checklist of agreed-upon standards

📍 Deliverables

cleanup-2025 branch with applied changes
Internal doc: docs/codebase-overview.md
Updated .env.example, README.md, and onboarding steps
Team can confidently explain all business logic
Codebase reflects product as it is today — ready for scale

Understanding the Use of Redis and BullMQ

Looking to get a clearer picture of the reasoning and implementation behind the use of Redis and BullMQ in the project. Specifically:

Why are Redis and BullMQ being used?
- What problems are they solving in the current system?
- What benefits do they offer over other solutions?
How are they being utilized in the codebase?
- Where is the job queue logic implemented?
- What kinds of tasks are being queued and processed?
- How is Redis integrated with BullMQ?

Understanding this will help me get a clearer picture of our architecture and contribute more effectively.
