Development Workflow
This document outlines the development processes and workflows for CepatEdge.
Branching Strategy
Main Branches
main: Production-ready code, protected branchdevelop: Integration branch for features
Feature Branches

Release Branches
- Naming:
release/v1.2.3 - Source: Branch from
developwhen ready for release - Merge: Merge to

Development Process
1. Task Planning
bash
# Create feature branch
git checkout develop
git pull origin develop
git checkout -b feature/new-maintenance-endpoint
# Plan implementation
# - Review requirements
# - Design API endpoints
# - Plan database changes
# - Consider testing approach2. Implementation
typescript
// Follow established patterns
// - Service layer separation
// - Type-safe implementations
// - Comprehensive error handling
// - OpenAPI documentation3. Testing
bash
# Unit tests
pnpm test:unit
# Integration tests
pnpm test:integration
# API testing with Yaak/Postman
# - Test all endpoints
# - Verify error responses
# - Check authentication flows4. Code Review
- Create pull request with description
- Include testing instructions
- Reference related issues
- Request review from team members
5. Merge and Deploy
bash
# After approval, merge to develop
git checkout develop
git merge feature/new-maintenance-endpoint
# Deploy to staging for testing
pnpm deploy:stagingCode Standards
TypeScript Guidelines
- Strict mode: Enabled for all files
- Type safety: No
anytypes without justification - Interface definitions: Prefer interfaces over types
- Generic constraints: Use generics for reusable components
API Design
- RESTful conventions: Standard HTTP methods
- Consistent responses: Success/error format standardization
- OpenAPI documentation: All endpoints documented
- Versioning: URL-based API versioning
Service Architecture
- Separation of concerns: Clear service boundaries
- Dependency injection: Service factory pattern
- Error handling: Consistent error propagation
- Caching strategy: Appropriate cache usage
Testing Strategy
Unit Testing
- Coverage: Minimum 80% coverage
- Framework: Vitest with React Testing Library
- Mocking: External dependencies and APIs
- Isolation: Tests run independently
Integration Testing
- API endpoints: Full request/response cycles
- Database operations: Real database interactions
- Authentication flows: Complete user journeys
- Workflow testing: End-to-end maintenance flows
Performance Testing
- Load testing: 1000+ concurrent users
- Response times: <100ms target
- Memory usage: Monitor for leaks
- Cache efficiency: Hit rate monitoring
Documentation Requirements
Code Documentation
- Functions: JSDoc for public APIs
- Complex logic: Inline comments explaining decisions
- Type definitions: Self-documenting type names
API Documentation
- OpenAPI specs: Automatically generated
- Examples: Request/response examples
- Error codes: Comprehensive error documentation
Architectural Documentation
- ADRs: Major decisions documented
- System diagrams: Updated with changes
- Migration guides: Database and API changes
