Bug: The database pool initialization db_pool.initialize() lacks error handling. A misconfigured database URL will raise an unhandled exception and crash the application on startup.
_{Severity: HIGH}

Suggested Fix

Wrap the await db_pool.initialize() call within a try/except block to catch potential exceptions. Log any errors that occur, similar to the error handling implemented for the Supabase and Redis initializations, to prevent the entire application from crashing during startup.

Potential issue: During application startup, the database connection pool initialization
via `db_pool.initialize()` is not wrapped in a `try/except` block. Functions called
within this initialization, such as `make_url()` or `create_async_engine()`, can raise
an `ArgumentError` or other exceptions if the database URL is malformed, a driver is
missing, or the database is unavailable. Since this call is not protected, any such
exception will be unhandled, causing the entire application to crash immediately upon
startup and preventing it from serving any requests. This is inconsistent with other
service initializations like Supabase and Redis, which are properly wrapped in error
handlers.
