Sequelize v6 removes operatorsAliases configuration option

High Severity

Upgrading sequelize from v4 to v6 is a major version upgrade with breaking changes. The existing configuration in user-service/src/config/sequelizeConfig.js uses operatorsAliases: false, which was removed in Sequelize v6. This option was deprecated in v5 (as a no-op) and completely removed in v6. The application will fail to initialize properly or throw errors when trying to instantiate the Sequelize connection with this invalid option.
