Why Database Abstraction is Better ### Current Problems: 1. **Tight Coupling**: Auth services are hardcoded to `PgPool` 2. **Limited Flexibility**: Can't easily switch databases 3. **Maintenance Burden**: Database-specific code scattered throughout 4. **Testing Complexity**: Hard to test with different databases 5. **Vendor Lock-in**: Forced to use PostgreSQL for auth features ### Benefits of Database Abstraction: 1. **Loose Coupling**: Services depend on traits, not concrete types 2. **Database Flexibility**: Easy to switch between SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc. 3. **Better Testing**: Can use in-memory databases for tests 4. **Cleaner Code**: Single interface for all database operations 5. **Future-proofing**: Easy to add new database backends
