Description
📌 Overview
The current application defines the startServer() function directly in the main server file, where it is responsible for connecting to MongoDB, initializing Redis, and starting the Express server.
As the project grows, keeping all startup responsibilities in a single file makes the entry point harder to read and maintain.
The server initialization logic should be extracted into a dedicated bootstrap module to improve code organization, separation of concerns, and maintainability while preserving the existing application behavior.
✅ Tasks
- Create a dedicated bootstrap module (e.g.
bootstrap/startServer.js).
- Move the complete
startServer() implementation into the new module.
- Move all database and Redis initialization logic into the bootstrap module.
- Keep startup logging inside the bootstrap module.
- Export the startup function from the new module.
- Update the main server file to simply import and execute the startup function.
- Ensure there are no functional changes after the refactor.
🎯 Expected Outcome
- Cleaner and more maintainable server entry point.
- Startup logic centralized in one location.
- Easier future extension of the application startup process.
- No changes to the application's runtime behavior.

📝 Notes
This is a refactoring task focused on improving project structure and maintainability. No API endpoints, middleware behavior, or business logic should be modified.
