- Contract tests for translators

**Timeline**: Week 2-4
**Effort**: 48 hours

---

### 5. [Clean Architecture Migration](clean-architecture-migration.md)
**Focus**: Refactor to Clean Architecture (Onion/Hexagonal)
- Domain layer with entities and services
- Application layer with use cases
- Infrastructure layer with repositories
- Thin HTTP handlers

**Timeline**: Week 1-7
**Effort**: 80 hours

---

### 6. [Performance & Observability](performance-observability.md)
**Focus**: Add caching, tracing, metrics
- Structured logging with slog
- OpenTelemetry/Jaeger tracing
- Prometheus metrics
- Redis caching layer
- Circuit breakers

**Timeline**: Week 3-4
**Effort**: 40 hours

---

### 7. [Security Hardening](security-hardening.md)
**Focus**: Security improvements and hardening
- Input validation middleware
- Rate limiting (token bucket)
- Secrets management (Vault integration)
- Security headers (CSP, HSTS)
- Audit logging
- SAST/DAST in CI

**Timeline**: Week 1-3
**Effort**: 48 hours

---

### 8. [CI/CD & DevOps](ci-cd-devops.md)
**Focus**: Automated deployment and infrastructure
- GitHub Actions workflows
- Multi-arch Docker builds
- GoReleaser configuration

| Setup golangci-lint | Code Quality | High |
| Error handling standardization | Error Handling | High |
| Input validation middleware | Security | High |
| Structured logging | Performance | Medium |

### Phase 2: Core Improvements (Weeks 3-4)
| Task | Plan | Priority |
|------|------|----------|
| Config refactoring start | Config | High |
| Testing infrastructure | Testing | High |
| Rate limiting | Security | Medium |
| Metrics collection | Performance | Medium |

### Phase 3: Architecture (Weeks 5-7)
| Task | Plan | Priority |
|------|------|----------|
| Domain layer extraction | Clean Arch | High |
| Use case implementation | Clean Arch | High |
| Repository pattern | Clean Arch | High |

### Phase 4: Scale (Weeks 8-10)
| Task | Plan | Priority |
|------|------|----------|
| Caching layer | Performance | Medium |
| Circuit breakers | Performance | Medium |
| Tracing | Performance | Low |
| CI/CD pipelines | CI/CD | High |

### Phase 5: Production (Weeks 11-12)
| Task | Plan | Priority |
|------|------|----------|
| Terraform infrastructure | CI/CD | Medium |
| Kubernetes deployment | CI/CD | Medium |
| Monitoring setup | CI/CD | Medium |
| Security scanning | Security | High |

## Effort Summary

| Category | Hours | Percentage |
|----------|-------|------------|
| Code Quality | 16 | 6% |
| Error Handling | 24 | 9% |
| Configuration | 40 | 15% |
| Testing | 48 | 18% |
| Clean Architecture | 80 | 30% |
| Performance | 40 | 15% |
| Security | 48 | 18% |
| CI/CD | 48 | 18% |
| **Total** | **344** | **100%** |

*Note: Hours are estimates and may overlap in some areas*

## Quick Wins (Week 1)

1. **Enable golangci-lint** - Immediate code quality improvement
2. **Add security headers** - One middleware addition
3. **Structured logging** - Replace logrus with slog
4. **Request ID middleware** - Track requests end-to-end
5. **Rate limiting** - Protect against abuse

## Key Decisions Needed

1. **Storage Backend**: Continue with PostgreSQL or add Redis?
2. **Secrets Management**: HashiCorp Vault, cloud provider, or env vars?
3. **Tracing**: Jaeger, Zipkin, or cloud provider (AWS X-Ray)?
4. **Deployment**: Kubernetes, ECS, or stay with Docker Compose?
5. **Caching**: Redis or in-memory only?

## Risk Assessment

| Risk | Impact | Mitigation |
|------|--------|------------|
| Breaking changes during refactor | High | Feature flags, gradual rollout |
| Test coverage gaps | Medium | Focus on critical paths first |
| Performance regression | Medium | Benchmark before/after |
| Deployment complexity | Medium | Staging environment testing |
| Team learning curve | Low | Code reviews, documentation |

## Success Criteria

- [ ] 70%+ test coverage
- [ ] Zero lint errors
- [ ] <100ms p99 latency
- [ ] 99.9% uptime
- [ ] Automated deployments
- [ ] Full observability
- [ ] Zero security vulnerabilities (high/critical)
