## Database Setup

### Drizzle ORM

Database schema is defined in [`src/lib/db/schema.ts`](../src/lib/db/schema.ts).

### Migrations

```bash
# Generate migration from schema changes
npx drizzle-kit generate

# Run migrations
npx drizzle-kit migrate

# Push schema directly (development)
npx drizzle-kit push

# Open Drizzle Studio
npx drizzle-kit studio
```

### Supabase Setup

1. Create a new Supabase project
2. Get connection strings from Project Settings > Database
3. Create storage bucket named `detected-objects` for thumbnails
4. Run migrations against the database

---

## Testing

### Test Framework

Vitest with React Testing Library.

```bash
# Run all tests
npm run test

# Run tests in watch mode
npx vitest

# Run tests with coverage
npx vitest --coverage
```

### Test Structure

Tests are co-located with source files:

```
src/
├── features/
│   └── vault/
│       ├── services/
│       │   └── vault.service.ts
│       │   └── __tests__/
│       │       └── vault.service.test.ts
│       └── components/
│           └── __tests__/
│               └── vault-grid.test.tsx
```

### Writing Tests

```typescript
// Service test example
import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest';
import { VaultService } from '../vault.service';

describe('VaultService', () => {
  it('should return vault for valid creator slug', async () => {
    const vault = await VaultService.getCreatorVault('test-creator');
    expect(vault).toBeDefined();
    expect(vault?.channel.channelName).toBe('Test Creator');
  });
});
```

```typescript
// Component test example
import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react';
import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
import { ProductCard } from '../product-card';

describe('ProductCard', () => {
  it('should render product name', () => {
    render(<ProductCard {...mockProps} />);
    expect(screen.getByText('Test Product')).toBeInTheDocument();
  });
});
```

---

## Code Quality

### Linting

ESLint with Next.js recommended config.

```bash
# Run linter
npm run lint

# Fix linting issues
npm run lint -- --fix
```

### Pre-commit Hooks

Husky runs lint-staged on commit:

```json
{
  "lint-staged": {
    "*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx,mjs}": [
      "eslint --fix"
    ]
  }
}
```

### TypeScript

Strict mode enabled. Build will fail on type errors (configurable).

```bash
# Type check
npx tsc --noEmit
```

---

## Deployment

### Architecture

- **Frontend:** Vercel (Edge/Serverless)
- **Background Workers:** Railway (Docker containers)
- **Database:** Supabase (Managed Postgres)
- **Cache:** Upstash Redis
- **Workflows:** Inngest Cloud

### Vercel Deployment

1. Connect repository to Vercel
2. Configure environment variables
3. Deploy on push to main

```bash
# Manual deployment
npx vercel deploy --prod
```

### Railway Deployment

1. Connect repository to Railway
2. Configure environment variables
3. Set up Inngest worker service

```bash
# Manual deployment
npx @railway/cli up --detach --project <project-id>
```

### CI/CD Pipeline

GitHub Actions workflow: [`.github/workflows/deploy.yml`](../.github/workflows/deploy.yml)

**Build & Test Job:**
- Runs on every push and PR
- Installs dependencies
- Runs lint
- Runs tests
- Builds application

**Deploy Job:**
- Runs on push to main
- Deploys to Vercel
- Deploys to Railway

## Development Workflow

### Branch Strategy

```
main
├── develop
│   ├── feature/xyz
│   ├── fix/abc
│   └── refactor/def
```

### Commit Convention

```
type(scope): description

Types: feat, fix, refactor, docs, test, chore
```

### Pull Request Process

1. Create feature branch from `develop`
2. Make changes and write tests
3. Run lint and tests locally
4. Create PR to `develop`
5. CI must pass before merge
6. Squash merge to `develop`
7. Periodic releases from `develop` to `main`

---

## Debugging

### Local Debugging

```typescript
// Console logging with context
console.log('[VaultService] Fetching vault for slug:', creatorSlug);

// Sentry capture for investigation
Sentry.captureException(error, {
  tags: { component: 'VaultGrid', action: 'fetch' },
  extra: { creatorSlug },
});
```

### Inngest Debugging

1. Open Inngest Dev Server UI at `http://localhost:8288`
2. View function runs, events, and errors
3. Replay failed functions
4. Inspect step outputs

### Database Debugging

```bash
# Open Drizzle Studio
npx drizzle-kit studio

# Direct SQL query
psql $DATABASE_URL -c "SELECT * FROM detected_objects LIMIT 10;"
```

---

## Common Tasks

### Add a New Feature Module

1. Create directory in `src/features/`
2. Add subdirectories: `actions/`, `components/`, `services/`, `types/`
3. Create server actions with `'use server'`
4. Create components with `'use client'` where needed
5. Add types in `types/`
6. Write tests in `__tests__/`

### Add a New Inngest Function

1. Create file in `src/inngest/functions/`
2. Define event interface
3. Create function with `inngest.createFunction()`
4. Register in `src/app/api/inngest/route.ts`
5. Trigger from server action or other function

### Add a New API Route

1. Create directory in `src/app/api/`
2. Create `route.ts` file
3. Export HTTP method handlers (GET, POST, etc.)
4. Add authentication/authorization as needed

### Add a New Page

1. Create directory in `src/app/`
2. Create `page.tsx` file
3. For dynamic routes, use `[param]/page.tsx`
4. Add metadata export for SEO
5. Use SSR for public pages, client components for dashboards

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Database Connection Errors**
- Verify DATABASE_URL and DIRECT_URL are correct
- Check Supabase project is not paused
- Ensure SSL is required (`ssl: 'require'`)

**Inngest Functions Not Running**
- Verify INNGEST_EVENT_KEY and INNGEST_SIGNING_KEY
- Check Inngest dev server is running locally
- Verify function is registered in API route

**YouTube API Quota Exceeded**
- Check Google Cloud Console for quota usage
- Request quota increase if needed
- Implement caching to reduce API calls

**Marketplace API Rate Limits**
- Check Redis cache is working
- Implement backoff strategies
- Consider upgrading API tiers

### Getting Help

1. Check existing documentation
2. Search GitHub issues
3. Review Inngest dashboard for errors
4. Check Sentry for error details
