🎨 Review obscuring code and revisit the db import refactor

21st January 2021

• Review obscuring code
• Revisit the db import refactor. Mostly getting my head back into what I was working on last time, and starting to extract the database code from the API to the lib classes.

Along the way I saw that we're doing a bunch of manual DB connection management, calling prisma.$disconnect. The docs give an overview but no clear patterns on how to manage connections with next.js. There's a thread where people are running up against this problem which contains a few possible solutions. I started an issue to make sure I remember it and to see if we can find a solution that works for us.
