Refactor subscriptions as orders #65

Closed csjx closed 3 years ago

csjx commented 3 years ago

Since we don't technically support ongoing subscriptions to services, merge them into orders throughout the code base. Also, change subscribers to owners. Products are now purchased as opposed to subscribed to.

Subscriptions are now Memberships, and subscribers are owners. Note that a Customer.subject aligns with a Membership.owner, and may align with the Quota.owner for individuals, but this may be replaced by a group owner subject.

I was having some difficulties modeling a Membership with multiple products, and realized that this is not correct. I discussed this with @gothub, and we realized that a Subscription is not actual a Membership, but rather an instantiation of a Product, tying it to a Customer and setting the Quotas. I'm reopening this issue, and changing the title so that Subscriptions are now ~Services~ merged into Orders - akin to any online service that somebody purchases (vs subscribes to) and we need to keep track of.

This refactor is complete, and we are testing via the test deployment. We'll open new issues as needed. Closing this one.
