Risks And Tradeoffs
Risks and Tradeoffs
Current risks
- Google OAuth is planned but not package-installed in this scaffold yet
- Redis is preferred but not currently installed on the VM
- Admin tooling is outlined but not package-integrated yet
- Listing CRUD and media upload pipeline are still scaffold-level only
Security tradeoffs
- Database-backed sessions and queues simplify bootstrap but are less scalable than Redis
- Placeholder pages reduce deployment friction now, but auth and submission surfaces must not be opened publicly until captcha and policy enforcement are finished
Operational tradeoffs
- Keeping the UI Blade-first protects speed and SEO, but richer internal dashboards should remain disciplined to avoid reintroducing SPA complexity
- Direct ad-slot reservation now prevents template lock-in later, but click/impression analytics are still a follow-on phase
