Day 16 (Part 4 & Part 5): Audit Logs, Migrations, and Stability
Today’s work was about making the backend reliable, not just functional.
I focused on:
- Designing a proper AuditLog model
- Migrating from a raw field to a ForeignKey relationship
- Dealing with broken migrations after schema changes
- Resetting and rebuilding the database cleanly
- Verifying audit logging through real request simulations
This part of the project reinforced an important lesson:
backend engineering isn’t only about writing new code —
it’s about maintaining data integrity as the system evolves.
With Day 16 fully completed (Part 4 & 5),
I’m ready to move forward to Day 17, where I’ll work on:
- Rate limiting
- API quotas
- Usage tracking
Thanks for following along 🚀
