# Issues

## Serious Security Concern

1. Private variables are exposed in .env.example
      1. MONDGODB_URI (db password)
      2. JWT_SECRET
      3. AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_ID
      4. STRIPE_SECRET_KEY / STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET
      5. SENDGRID_API_KEY
      6. SUPER_ADMIN_PASSWORD

## Long Term Concerns

1. Overtooling/Overengineering: some tools are more complicated than necessary
    1. AWS (Render/Raleway)
    2. Docker (NPM)
    3. NestJS (Express/NextJS)
    4. Redis (MongoDB)
2. Abandoned/deprecated/outdated
    1. Create React App aka CRA [SEO]
       1. Vite: easy switch, but still no SEO
       2. NextJS: moderately difficult switch, but then SEO will work
