🏗️ Technical Architecture

Stack Decision Matrix

Firebase Architecture Principle

• Admin SDK (firebase-admin) — used exclusively in app/api/** route files on the server. Bypasses Firestore security rules. Has full read/write access.
• Client SDK (firebase) — installed but reserved for any future client-side real-time features. Not used for form submissions or data writes.
• All public form submissions go through Next.js API routes → Admin SDK → Firestore. The browser never writes to Firestore directly.
• Firebase project: walktopus-prod · Region: asia-south1 (Mumbai — lowest latency from Kolkata)

🔥 Firebase Setup Guide

Step 1 — Create Firebase Project

1. Go to https://console.firebase.google.com
2. Add Project → Name: walktopus-prod
3. Add Web App → register app → copy config object → paste to .env.local
4. Project Settings → Service Accounts tab
   → Generate new private key → download JSON
   → Copy: project_id, client_email, private_key → paste to .env.local

Step 2 — Enable Firestore

Firebase Console → Build → Firestore Database
→ Create Database → Production mode
→ Location: asia-south1 (Mumbai)

Step 3 — Firestore Security Rules

Since all writes go through the Admin SDK (which bypasses rules), these rules lock down any direct browser access entirely:

// firestore.rules
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {

    // leads: Admin SDK only — no browser access
    match /leads/{leadId} {
      allow read, write: if false;
    }

    // newsletter_subscribers: Admin SDK only
    match /newsletter_subscribers/{docId} {
      allow read, write: if false;
    }
  }
}

Deploy rules:

npm install -g firebase-tools
firebase login
firebase init firestore   # select walktopus-prod project
firebase deploy --only firestore:rules

Step 4 — Firestore Indexes (create in Console)

Collection: leads
Composite index: createdAt DESC, status ASC   → for admin lead list view

Collection: leads
Composite index: type ASC, createdAt DESC      → for filtering by B2B/Individual

🗄️ Firestore Data Schema

Collection: leads

interface Lead {
  id:          string                                    // Firestore auto-ID
  type:        'business' | 'individual'
  name:        string
  company?:    string | null                            // present when type === 'business'
  email:       string
  phone:       string
  services:    string[]                                 // e.g. ['social-media', 'web-identity']
  budgetRange?: '<25k' | '25k-1L' | '1L-5L' | '5L+' | null
  message:     string
  status:      'new' | 'contacted' | 'converted' | 'closed'
  source:      string                                   // e.g. 'contact-form'
  ipHash:      string                                   // SHA-256 hash, first 16 chars only
  createdAt:   FirebaseFirestore.Timestamp
  updatedAt:   FirebaseFirestore.Timestamp
}

Collection: newsletter_subscribers

interface NewsletterSubscriber {
  email:        string          // document ID is base64(email) — guarantees uniqueness
  active:       boolean
  source:       string          // e.g. 'footer-signup'
  subscribedAt: FirebaseFirestore.Timestamp
}

⚙️ Firebase Admin Singleton (lib/firebase-admin.ts)

// lib/firebase-admin.ts
// ⚠️ SERVER-SIDE ONLY — never import this in 'use client' components

import { initializeApp, getApps, cert, App } from 'firebase-admin/app'
import { getFirestore, Firestore } from 'firebase-admin/firestore'

let cachedApp: App | null = null
let cachedDb: Firestore | null = null

export function getFirebaseAdmin(): { db: Firestore } {
  if (!cachedApp) {
    const apps = getApps()
    cachedApp = apps.length
      ? apps[0]
      : initializeApp({
          credential: cert({
            projectId:   process.env.FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID!,
            clientEmail: process.env.FIREBASE_CLIENT_EMAIL!,
            privateKey:  process.env.FIREBASE_PRIVATE_KEY!.replace(/\\n/g, '\n'),
          }),
        })
  }

  if (!cachedDb) {
    cachedDb = getFirestore(cachedApp)
  }

  return { db: cachedDb }
}

Hard rule: Only import getFirebaseAdmin inside app/api/**/route.ts files. If you see it imported anywhere else, that is a bug — remove it immediately.

Deployment Workflow

GitHub main branch  →  Vercel auto-deploy  →  walktopus.in (production)
GitHub PR branches  →  Vercel preview URLs →  Review & QA

Custom Domain

1. Vercel Dashboard → Domains → Add walktopus.in
2. DNS: A → 76.76.21.21 · CNAME www → cname.vercel-dns.com
3. SSL: auto-provisioned by Vercel

⚡ Performance Targets

• Static pages: export const dynamic = 'force-static'
• API routes: export const runtime = 'nodejs' (firebase-admin requires it)
• Hero images: next/image with priority={true}
• Fonts: next/font/google with display: 'swap'

🔒 Security Checklist

• FIREBASE_PRIVATE_KEY, FIREBASE_CLIENT_EMAIL — server-only, never NEXT_PUBLIC_
• RESEND_API_KEY — server-only
• getFirebaseAdmin() imported ONLY in app/api/**/route.ts files — never in components
• Firestore security rules deny ALL direct browser reads/writes (allow read, write: if false)
• Zod validation runs BEFORE every Firestore write
• Honeypot field on all public forms
• Rate limiting active on all POST endpoints
• IP hashed (SHA-256, first 16 chars) before storage — raw IPs never stored
• Security headers set in vercel.json
• console.log never outputs PII or secrets in production
• .env.local listed in .gitignore
• Firebase rules deployed via CLI and tested before going to production

• /sitemap.xml and /robots.txt accessible
• OG image verified at opengraph.xyz

🚀 Production Readiness Standards

This agent's primary goal is to ship a production-ready backend — not a scaffold, not a skeleton with TODOs. Every API route, Firebase integration, email template, and deployment config must be fully working before it is considered done.

What "Production Ready" Means for Backend/Fullstack

API routes

• All three routes implemented and tested: /api/contact, /api/newsletter, /api/health
• Every route has Zod validation — no unvalidated req.json() values ever reach Firestore
• Honeypot check present on all POST routes that accept public form input
• Rate limiting active and tested — verify 429 response after limit is exceeded
• export const runtime = 'nodejs' declared on routes using firebase-admin
• All routes return consistent JSON shape: { success: true } or { error: string }
• No route returns a 500 without logging the error to console.error first

Firebase

• walktopus-prod Firebase project created in asia-south1 region
• Firestore security rules deployed via Firebase CLI — allow read, write: if false on all public collections
• Admin SDK singleton (lib/firebase-admin.ts) uses caching pattern — no re-initialization on warm invocations
• FIREBASE_PRIVATE_KEY correctly handles \\n → \n replacement
• Firestore composite indexes created for leads collection queries
• getFirebaseAdmin imported ONLY in app/api/** — verified via grep before shipping

Email

• Both email templates (ContactConfirmation, ContactNotification) render correctly via React Email preview
• Confirmation email received by submitter within 30 seconds of form submit
• Notification email received by RESEND_TO_EMAIL with all lead fields populated
• From domain walktopus.in verified in Resend dashboard (DNS records set)

Security

• Zero NEXT_PUBLIC_ prefixed variables that expose secrets
• .env.local confirmed in .gitignore — never committed
• All env vars set in Vercel Dashboard before first production deploy
• Security headers verified in browser DevTools → Network → Response headers

Build & deployment

• npm run build passes with zero errors
• Vercel project linked to GitHub repo — auto-deploy on main push confirmed
• Custom domain walktopus.in added in Vercel with correct DNS records
• SSL certificate provisioned and HTTPS enforced
• /sitemap.xml returns valid XML with all 6 pages
• /robots.txt returns correct directives

📤 GitHub Commit Workflow

After completing every meaningful unit of work — an API route, a lib file, a config change, a schema update — you must commit and push to GitHub immediately. Do not accumulate changes across multiple features before committing. Small, focused commits are required.

Git Setup (first time only)

# Initialize repo if not already done
git init
git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR_ORG/walktopus.git

# Critical: ensure secrets are never tracked
echo ".env.local" >> .gitignore
echo ".env" >> .gitignore
echo "node_modules/" >> .gitignore
echo ".next/" >> .gitignore
echo "out/" >> .gitignore
echo "*.pem" >> .gitignore
echo "serviceAccountKey.json" >> .gitignore

git add .gitignore
git commit -m "chore(git): initialize repo with gitignore"
git push -u origin main

Branch Strategy

main          → production branch — Vercel auto-deploys from here
dev           → active development branch — all backend work happens here
feature/*     → individual feature branches for larger changes

Always work on dev. Merge to main only when the full production readiness checklist is complete.

# Start from dev branch always
git checkout dev
# or create it if it doesn't exist
git checkout -b dev

Commit Convention

Use this exact commit message format — every time, no exceptions:

<type>(<scope>): <short description>

Types:
  feat      → new API route, Firebase integration, lib file, or email template
  fix       → bug fix in route handler, validation, or config
  security  → security improvement (rate limiting, rules, env var handling)
  config    → Firebase, Vercel, next.config, vercel.json, .env.example changes
  chore     → dependencies, tooling, scripts
  docs      → comments, README, IMAGES_TODO updates

Scope: the system area affected
  api, firebase, email, validation, env, sitemap, seo,
  contact-route, newsletter-route, firebase-admin,
  resend, upstash, vercel, nextconfig, constants, types

Examples:
  feat(firebase): add Admin SDK singleton with caching pattern
  feat(contact-route): implement POST handler with Firestore write + emails
  feat(newsletter-route): implement deduplication via base64 doc ID
  feat(email): build ContactConfirmation and ContactNotification templates
  security(api): add Upstash rate limiting to all POST routes
  config(firebase): deploy Firestore security rules via CLI
  config(vercel): add security headers and cache-control for API routes
  fix(contact-route): handle FIREBASE_PRIVATE_KEY newline escaping
  chore(deps): install firebase-admin, resend, upstash packages
  feat(sitemap): add all 6 routes with priorities and change frequencies
  config(env): update .env.example with all required variable names

Standard Commit Sequence

Run this after completing every piece of work:

# 1. Check what changed
git status
git diff

# 2. Never stage .env.local — verify it's gitignored
git check-ignore -v .env.local   # should output: .gitignore:.env.local

# 3. Stage changes
git add .
# or targeted:
git add lib/firebase-admin.ts app/api/contact/route.ts

# 4. Review staged diff before committing
git diff --staged

# 5. Commit with proper message
git commit -m "feat(firebase): add Admin SDK singleton with warm-invocation caching"

# 6. Push to remote
git push origin dev

# 7. Confirm
git log --oneline -5

Merging to Main (production deploy)

Only merge dev → main after the full production readiness checklist above is complete:

# Final pre-merge verification
npm run build        # must pass clean
npx tsc --noEmit     # must show zero errors
npm run lint         # must show zero errors

# Merge
git checkout main
git merge dev --no-ff -m "chore(release): merge dev → main for production deploy"
git push origin main
# ↑ This push triggers Vercel auto-deploy to walktopus.in

# Tag the release
git tag -a v1.0.0 -m "Initial production launch — Walktopus backend"
git push origin --tags

# Return to dev
git checkout dev

What to Commit After Each Task

Verification After Push

After every push to main, verify the Vercel deployment:

# Watch Vercel deployment status (install Vercel CLI if needed)
vercel ls

# Or check directly at:
# https://vercel.com/dashboard → walktopus → Deployments
# Wait for "Ready" status before considering the deploy complete
