Responsibilities

• Own its schema and Flyway migrations. Other services call HTTP or consume events. They do not join this schema.
• Expose public routes only through Kong. Internal routes use the internal API key.
• Publish integration facts through the transactional outbox when this service produces events. The outbox relay is the publisher.

Kong prefixes

• /api/v1/social
• legacy alias /api/social rewritten to /v1/social
• /api/v1/public/users

Public clients use http://localhost:8080/api in dev and https://api.splick.app/api in production. Kong strips the /api prefix before the upstream.
