v0.3.0: The Microservices Monorepo Update

Welcome to the biggest architectural update in urBackend history! We have completely rewritten our foundation to transition from a single monolithic backend to a highly scalable NPM Workspaces Monorepo.

🔥 Major Architectural Changes

• Monolith Deprecated: The old legacy-backend has been completely removed in favor of a modern, independent microservices architecture.
• NPM Workspaces Setup: The entire repository is now structured using npm workspaces for seamless dependency sharing and local execution via cleanly separated apps/* and packages/* directories.
• Shared Core Library (@urbackend/common): All Mongoose models, Express middlewares, Redis queues, and database configurations have been extracted into a central packages/common component to strictly enforce DRY principles.

🏗️ New Services Introduced

• dashboard-api (Control Plane): A dedicated, secure backend isolated for the SaaS admin panel. It exclusively handles project creation, API key rolling, and developer authentication.
• public-api (Data Plane): A highly scalable, decoupled backend handling all project-related public data routing, schema validation, and Supabase storage requests via API keys.

🛠️ Developer Experience & DevOps

• Concurrent Dev Mode: Boot the whole stack! Running npm run dev at the root directly powers up the React frontend (web-dashboard), dashboard-api, and public-api simultaneously with colored logging.
• Advanced Docker Orchestration: Fully containerized environment. A single docker-compose up spins up MongoDB, Redis, and both API microservices equipped with properly cached, multistage Dockerfiles.
• Isolated Rate Limiting: Dedicated rate limiting and robust error catchers deployed independently for public and admin routes.

Upgrade Note for Contributors:
Please run a fresh npm install at the root directory to properly symlink the new workspaces before starting the development server.
