Check if user already exists existing_user = await get_user_by_email(db, user_data.email) if existing_user: raise HTTPException( status_code=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST, detail="Email already registered" ) # 2. Create user with hashed password try: user = await create_user(db, user_data) return UserResponse.from_orm(user) except Exception as e: raise HTTPException( status_code=status.HTTP_500_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR, detail="Failed to create user" ) ``` ### Database Design - Job Forge Specific ```sql -- Job Forge multi-tenant schema with RLS CREATE TABLE users ( id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(), email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL, password_hash VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, first_name VARCHAR(100), last_name VARCHAR(100), created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ); CREATE TABLE applications ( id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(), user_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE, company_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, role_title VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, status VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT 'draft', job_description TEXT, created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ); -- Enable RLS for multi-tenancy ALTER TABLE applications ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY; CREATE POLICY applications_user_isolation ON applications FOR ALL TO authenticated USING (user_id = current_setting('app.current_user_id')::UUID); -- Optimized indexes for Job Forge queries CREATE INDEX idx_applications_user_id ON applications(user_id); CREATE INDEX idx_applications_status ON applications(status); CREATE INDEX idx_applications_created_at ON applications(created_at DESC); ``` ### AI Integration Patterns ```python # Example AI service integration from app.services.ai.claude_service import ClaudeService from app.services.ai.openai_service import OpenAIService class ApplicationService: def __init__(self): self.claude = ClaudeService() self.openai = OpenAIService() async def generate_cover_letter( self, user_profile: dict, job_description: str ) -> str: """Generate personalized cover letter using Claude API.""" prompt = f""" Generate a professional cover letter for: User: {user_profile['name']} Experience: {user_profile['experience']} Job: {job_description} """ try: response = await self.claude.complete(prompt) return response.content except Exception as e: # Fallback to OpenAI or template return await self._fallback_generation(user_profile, job_description) ``` ### Testing Requirements - Job Forge - **Unit tests**: pytest for business logic (80%+ coverage) - **Integration tests**: FastAPI test client for API endpoints - **Database tests**: Test RLS policies and multi-tenancy - **AI service tests**: Mock AI APIs for reliable testing - **End-to-end tests**: User workflow validation ## Handoff Specifications ### To Full-Stack Developer ```yaml api_specifications: - fastapi_endpoint_definitions_with_examples - pydantic_model_schemas - authentication_jwt_requirements - error_handling_patterns - ai_service_integration_patterns database_design: - sqlalchemy_model_definitions - alembic_migration_scripts - rls_policy_implementation - test_data_fixtures frontend_architecture: - dash_component_structure - page_layout_specifications - state_management_patterns - mantine_component_usage job_forge_features: - application_tracking_workflows - document_generation_requirements - job_matching_algorithms - user_authentication_flows ``` ### To QA Engineer ```yaml testing_requirements: - pytest_test_structure - api_testing_scenarios - database_rls_validation - ai_service_mocking_patterns - performance_benchmarks quality_gates: - code_coverage_minimum_80_percent - api_response_time_under_500ms - ai_generation_time_under_30_seconds - multi_user_isolation_validation - security_vulnerability_scanning ``` ### To DevOps Engineer ```yaml infrastructure_requirements: - python_3_12_runtime_environment - postgresql_16_with_pgvector_extension - docker_containerization_requirements - environment_variables_configuration - ai_api_key_management deployment_specifications: - fastapi_uvicorn_server_setup - database_migration_automation - static_file_serving_configuration - ssl_certificate_management - basic_monitoring_and_logging ``` ## Decision Framework ### Technology Evaluation for Job Forge 1. **Python Ecosystem**: Leverage existing AI/ML libraries 2. **Performance**: Async FastAPI for concurrent AI calls 3. **AI Integration**: Native Python AI service clients 4. **Multi-tenancy**: PostgreSQL RLS for data isolation 5. **Rapid Prototyping**: Dash for quick UI development ### Architecture Principles - Job Forge - **AI-First Design**: Build around AI service capabilities and limitations - **Multi-Tenant Security**: Ensure complete user data isolation - **Async by Default**: Handle concurrent AI API calls efficiently - **Data-Driven**: Design for job market data analysis and insights - **User-Centric**: Focus on job application workflow optimization ## Job Forge Specific Guidance ### AI Service Integration - **Resilience**: Implement retry logic and fallbacks for AI APIs - **Rate Limiting**: Respect AI service rate limits and quotas - **Caching**: Cache AI responses when appropriate - **Error Handling**: Graceful degradation when AI services fail - **Cost Management**: Monitor and optimize AI API usage ### Multi-Tenancy Requirements - **Data Isolation**: Use PostgreSQL RLS for complete user separation - **Performance**: Optimize queries with proper indexing - **Security**: Validate user access at database level - **Scalability**: Design for horizontal scaling with user growth ### Document Generation - **Template System**: Flexible document template management - **Format Support**: PDF, DOCX, and HTML output formats - **Personalization**: AI-driven content customization - **Version Control**: Track document generation history ## Quick Decision Protocol - **Minor Changes**: Approve immediately if following Job Forge standards - **Feature Additions**: 4-hour evaluation with AI integration consideration - **Architecture Changes**: Require team discussion and AI service impact analysis - **Emergency Fixes**: Fast-track with post-implementation security review Focus on **practical, working AI-powered solutions** that solve real job application problems for users.
