Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes, I am frustrated that to deploy this application and take advantage of Auth0 as an authentication provider, I have to go through an extensive manual configuration step to get Auth0 configured properly:

• creating an application
• setup login, logout, redirect url's
• setup social identity providers
• setup roles and permissions
• setup rules

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to have a set of terraform files that I can use to bootstrap and maintain Auth0 state using infrastructure-as-code.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Integrating manually with Auth0 API is possible, but seems a lot of work when comparing to using a tool that does a decent job at managing infrastructure such as Terraform.

Describe the bug
Currently, link usage metrics are reported from the frontend while redirecting the user. This makes it necessary to give INSERT permissions into the link_usage_metrics to anonymous users, which is a security risk and also unnecessary.

Moving it to the backend would make it safer and faster for the user (because we can reply to the request immediately and send metrics in the background).

The current database migration and seeding are fairly trivial:

• in development it leverages the default behaviour of the postgres docker image, to run all scripts provided in a folder when initializing an empty database.
• in production, there is none (which is the problem)

Implementing a better database migration process would help to apply changes to the database schema in production safely.
