[FEATURE]: Restructure Model for Scalability and Modularity

[Bolu1]

Problem Statement

The current User model is limited in flexibility and scalability, making it difficult to support additional features like multi-auth providers, user preferences, activity tracking, and role-based access control. This tightly-coupled design increases technical debt and slows down feature delivery.

Proposed Solution

I would like to see the User model restructured to separate concerns clearly and accommodate future needs. The revised structure should modularize sections like authentication, profile, settings, and metadata.

Alternative Solutions

No response

Acceptance Criteria

• Users should be stored in the updated modular structure in the database.

• Authentication and user-related services must support the new format.

• Migration script should ensure backward compatibility for existing users.

• API endpoints return and accept user data in the new structure.

• Unit and integration tests should cover all new and modified logic.

Priority

Hello, I’m Jefferson, a backend engineer experienced in designing scalable user management systems using NestJS, TypeORM, and PostgreSQL. I've implemented modular user schemas that support multi-auth strategies, dynamic preferences, audit logging, and RBAC in various production applications.

For this task, I will refactor the User model into a modular structure, splitting concerns across related entities such as AuthProvider, UserProfile, UserSettings, and UserMetadata. I will ensure a seamless migration strategy for existing records, update all user services accordingly, and revise API responses to match the new schema. The update will be fully tested with both unit and integration coverage.
Estimated completion time: 15 hours.
