If you discover a security issue in the sample code or deployment assets, please contact the maintainer directly or open a private security advisory if the repository has that feature enabled.

The repository includes enterprise-style structure, Docker-based deployment, and CI automation for demonstration purposes. It should not be treated as production-ready without additional hardening.

Before any internet-facing deployment, at minimum:

• replace seeded users and demo credentials
• rotate all secrets and move them into a secret manager
• replace SHA-256 password hashing with BCrypt or Argon2
• add HTTPS and an API gateway or ingress
• add service-to-service authentication and authorization
• add automated tests, structured logging, metrics, and alerting
• review container, dependency, and image vulnerabilities regularly
