Nice project and great idea and a reasonable selection of technologies that optimize for low cost deployment.

However, my biggest concern is the glaringly lack of comprehensive tests whatsoever. I have to even question if this project is production ready at all.

Until that is in place, I really do not think this is "production" quality I'm afraid.

Fair point. For what its worth I did add a script that runs tests and checks coverage. But yeah the coverage itself could be better, working on it

PRs welcome if anyone wants to help out

Eh, don’t let other people define what is acceptable for production. Tests are nice but for most boilerplate type things nobody (and I mean NOBODY) writes unit or even integration tests. If you are deploying with the tolerance that you need this stuff to be automatically verified then you’re probably going to be running automated e2e UI tests anyway, and those will naturally uncover regressions and other issues with your auth backbone and other basics.
