Finding 001: error handling
FINDING-001 Critical Error handling internal/handler/user.go
Before / after
Loading diff...
Why this matters
  • Problem: Bare return err discards all context about where the error originated, making production debugging impossible.
  • Standard violated: Ring Go Standards § error handling: all errors must be wrapped with fmt.Errorf("context: %w", err) to preserve the chain.
  • Impact: When an error surfaces in logs, operators cannot trace it back to the handler or operation that failed, increasing MTTR by orders of magnitude.
Finding 002: structured logging
FINDING-002 High Structured logging internal/service/auth.go
Before / after
Loading diff...
Why this matters
  • Problem: log.Printf emits unstructured text that cannot be parsed, filtered, or correlated in an observability stack.
  • Standard violated: Ring Go Standards § structured logging: all log output must use the structured logger (zap) with typed fields and trace context.
  • Impact: Log-based alerting, dashboard queries, and incident investigation all depend on structured key-value fields. Unstructured lines are invisible to these tools.
Finding 003: context propagation
FINDING-003 Medium Context propagation internal/repository/user.go
Before / after
Loading diff...
Why this matters
  • Problem: Without context.Context as the first parameter, the function cannot participate in request cancellation or distributed tracing.
  • Standard violated: Ring Go Standards § context propagation: every function in the request path must accept ctx context.Context as its first parameter.
  • Impact: Database queries from cancelled HTTP requests continue executing, wasting resources. Trace spans have gaps because the repository layer is invisible to the tracing system.
