## Migration Strategy

### New Tech Stack
- **Backend**: Python (FastAPI)
- **Frontend**: 
  - iOS: Swift
  - Android: Kotlin
- **Database**: PostgreSQL
- **Authentication**: JWT with Python-JOSE
- **Real-time**: WebSockets with FastAPI

### Component Mapping

#### Backend Migration
```python
# Current (NestJS) -> New (FastAPI)
NestJS Controller -> FastAPI Router
NestJS Service -> FastAPI Service
TypeORM Entity -> SQLAlchemy Model
GraphQL Resolver -> FastAPI Endpoint

Frontend Migration

// Flutter -> Swift
BLoC Pattern -> Combine Framework
Provider -> SwiftUI Environment
Dio -> URLSession

// Flutter -> Kotlin
BLoC Pattern -> MVVM with Kotlin Coroutines
Provider -> Android ViewModel
Dio -> Retrofit

Step-by-Step Migration Plan

1. Database & Backend Setup

   • Set up PostgreSQL database
   • Create FastAPI project structure
   • Implement authentication system
   • Migrate database models

2. Core Services

   • Implement user management
   • Set up payment processing
   • Create location services
   • Implement notification system

3. Mobile Apps

   • Set up iOS project (Swift)
   • Set up Android project (Kotlin)
   • Implement shared business logic
   • Create UI components

4. Integration

   • Connect mobile apps to backend
   • Implement real-time features
   • Set up testing environment
   • Performance optimization

Key Considerations

Backend (Python/FastAPI)

• Use async/await for better performance
• Implement proper error handling
• Use Pydantic for data validation
• Set up proper logging and monitoring

iOS (Swift)

• Use SwiftUI for modern UI
• Implement Combine for reactive programming
• Use CoreLocation for location services
• Implement proper memory management

Android (Kotlin)

• Use Jetpack Compose for UI
• Implement Coroutines for async operations
• Use Android Location Services
• Follow Material Design guidelines

Potential Challenges

1. Real-time Communication

   • Current: GraphQL Subscriptions
   • New: WebSockets with FastAPI
   • Solution: Implement robust WebSocket handling

2. Cross-platform Consistency

   • Current: Single Flutter codebase
   • New: Separate iOS and Android codebases
   • Solution: Shared business logic layer

3. State Management

   • Current: BLoC Pattern
   • New: Combine (iOS) and MVVM (Android)
   • Solution: Consistent architecture patterns

4. Location Services

   • Current: Flutter plugins
   • New: Native implementations
   • Solution: Abstract location services

Optimization Opportunities

1. Performance

   • Implement caching strategies
   • Optimize database queries
   • Use native features where possible

2. Security
