💡 Tips & Best Practices
For Report Generation
- ✅ Use PDF for distribution, XLSX for analysis, CSV for data export
- ✅ Use monthly reports for billing, daily reports for operations
- ✅ Use granular reports only for troubleshooting (high data volume)
- ✅ Leverage shift-based reporting for operational alignment
For Performance
- 🚀 Use specific date ranges to reduce processing time
- 🚀 Generate reports during off-peak hours
- 🚀 Cache frequently accessed reports
- 🚀 Use CSV format for large datasets
For Security
- 🔒 Never commit secrets to version control
- 🔒 Use Azure Key Vault for all secrets
- 🔒 Rotate JWT tokens regularly (4-hour lifetime)
- 🔒 Enable IP whitelisting for production
For Development
- 🛠️ Follow the layered architecture pattern
- 🛠️ Write unit tests for new services
- 🛠️ Use type hints for better code quality
- 🛠️ Log all errors with context
