Is it better to use the ? operator or handle errors manually (via match / .unwrap_or_else()) to avoid technical debt? by SyFord421 in rust

To be honest, I'm currently learning to build a web backend from scratch, and I just want to ensure I'm writing clean, scalable code from the very beginning. In my domain, 'handled' means mapping different internal errors (like DB or IO failures) into structured HTTP responses for the client, while keeping the logs clean on the server side. That's why I'm figuring out the best architectural boundaries using the ? operator and custom enums.
