🚀 Deployment Readiness

Pre-Production Blockers

  1. Course Completion Integration ⚠️

    • Status: Mock implementation
    • Impact: Cannot verify actual course completion
    • Fix: Connect getCourseCompletion() to enrollment database
    • Effort: ~2 hours

  2. Certificate Store Persistence ⚠️

    • Status: In-memory only
    • Impact: Data lost on server restart
    • Fix: Migrate to database
    • Effort: ~4-6 hours

Nice-to-Have Before Prod

  1. PDF Generation Timeout

    • Status: TODO
    • Effort: ~1 hour
    • See: src/app/api/certificates/[id]/download/route.ts:105-108

  2. Multi-Server Rate Limiting

    • Status: In-memory (single server only)
    • Fix: Add Redis backing
    • Effort: ~2-3 hours

🧪 Testing

Run Tests

npm test -- src/app/api/certificates/__tests__/certificate-security.test.ts
