# Phase 6: Deployment & Scale — Context & Strategic Overview
**Phase Goal**: Production-ready multi-site deployment with automated setup, scale testing, and operational runbooks.
**Duration**: 1 month
**Target Version**: v2.0 stable
---
## Phase Overview
Phase 6 bridges the gap between fully-featured code (Phases 4.1 + 5) and production deployment at scale. After Phase 5 delivers search, exports, and quick quantity adjustment, the system needs:
1. **Containerization** — Reliable Docker/Compose setup for rapid multi-site rollout
2. **Automation** — Single-command deployment (environment agnostic)
3. **Scale validation** — Prove system handles 10K items + 5 concurrent users without degradation
4. **Performance tuning** — Identify and fix bottlenecks revealed by load testing
5. **Operational readiness** — Backup/restore, disaster recovery, runbook documentation
---
## Key Decisions Made During Planning
### 1. Docker Strategy
- **Existing**: docker-compose.yml and Dockerfiles already in place (backend/, proxy/)
- **Gap**: Automated deployment scripts, environment templates, CI/CD hooks
- **Plan 1 Focus**: Enhance existing Dockerfiles → production-grade, add health checks, optimize layers
- **Multi-site**: Single docker-compose.yml template with `.env` overrides per site
### 2. Deployment Automation
- **Target**: `./deploy.sh` (single entry point) — no manual steps
- **Scope**: Config validation, DB initialization, certificate generation, health checks
- **Fallback**: Documented manual steps for troubleshooting
- **Testing**: Pre-flight checks (port availability, storage, permissions)
### 3. Scale Testing Approach
- **Load Profile**: 10K items + 5 concurrent users (realistic field scenario)
- **Tools**: Locust (Python) for backend load testing, Playwright for frontend workflow
- **Metrics**: Response time <2s for search/scan, CPU/memory usage, sync reliability
- **Plan 2 Focus**: Load testing infrastructure + performance baseline + optimization recommendations
### 4. Backup/Restore Philosophy
- **Data**: SQLite DB + config files + certificate state
- **Versioning**: Backup includes timestamp + version number for easy rollback
- **Testing**: Automated restore test on each backup cycle
- **Plan 3 Focus**: Backup automation script, restore validation, documented RTO/RPO
### 5. Operational Documentation
- **Audience**: Ops teams deploying to new sites; minimal Docker/Python knowledge required
- **Format**: Runbook style (step-by-step checklists)
- **Coverage**: Deployment, scaling, troubleshooting, health monitoring, upgrade path
---
## Upstream Dependencies
### Phase 5 Completion Required
- ✓ Quick Quantity Adjustment feature (UI + API)
- ✓ Search & Filtering feature (modal + backend)
- ✓ Export/Reports feature (CSV/Excel + admin UI)
- ✓ All tests passing (Vitest + Pytest)
- ✓ No critical bugs in dev branch
### Existing Infrastructure
- ✓ docker-compose.yml (3 services: backend, frontend, proxy)
- ✓ Backend Dockerfile (Python 3.12 + FastAPI)
- ✓ Frontend Dockerfile (Node.js + Next.js)
- ✓ Caddy proxy with HTTPS (self-signed certs)
- ✓ Environment file system (inventory.env)
---
## Technical Approach
### Plan 1: Docker & Deployment Automation (Week 1-2)
- Refine Dockerfiles (health checks, logging, layer optimization)
- Create deployment automation script (`deploy.sh`)
- Environment template with validation
- Pre-flight checks + error handling
- Docker Compose enhancements (healthchecks, volumes, networking)
### Plan 2: Scale Testing & Performance (Week 2-3)
- Load testing framework (Locust)
- Database seeding (10K items with realistic categories)
- Concurrent user simulation (5 users, multiple workflows)
- Metrics collection (response time, CPU, memory)
- Bottleneck identification + optimization PR recommendations
- Health check automation
### Plan 3: Backup/Restore & Runbook (Week 3-4)
- Backup automation script (daily/weekly cycles)
- Restore validation + testing
- Runbook documentation (deployment, scaling, troubleshooting)
- Disaster recovery procedures
- Health monitoring guidelines
---
## Success Criteria
### Deployment Automation
- [ ] `./deploy.sh` deploys full stack in <5 minutes
- [ ] Automatic DB initialization on first run
- [ ] Health checks confirm all services running
- [ ] Env validation prevents misconfiguration
- [ ] Works on clean Ubuntu 22.04+ LTS system
### Scale Testing
- [ ] Load test with 10K items + 5 concurrent users completes
- [ ] Response times stable: search <500ms, scan <1s, sync <2s
- [ ] CPU usage <70%, memory <2GB during load
- [ ] Sync reliability 99%+ (no dropped transactions)
- [ ] Baseline metrics documented for future comparisons
### Backup/Restore
- [ ] Backup script creates timestamped archives
- [ ] Restore fully recovers system state (DB + config)
- [ ] Zero data loss on restore test
- [ ] RTO <10 minutes, RPO 1 day (configurable)
### Documentation
- [ ] Deployment runbook (step-by-step, no domain knowledge required)
- [ ] Scaling guide (adding more users, larger DB)
- [ ] Troubleshooting guide (common issues + solutions)
- [ ] Health monitoring checklist
---
## Testing Strategy
### Automated Testing
- Pre-deployment validation (docker build, env checks)
- Health check validation (all services respond)
- Scale testing suite (Locust + Playwright)
- Backup/restore automated tests
### Manual Testing
- First-time deployment on fresh VM
- Multi-site deployment (verify isolation)
- Failover testing (service restart, data integrity)
### Success Metrics
- All automated tests pass
- Manual deployment completes without human intervention
- Scale test shows <2s latency at 5 concurrent users
- Backup/restore cycle succeeds with zero data loss
---
## Blockers & Workarounds
### Known Constraints
1. **SQLite single-writer limitation** — No true concurrent writes; acceptable for 5 users
- Workaround: WAL mode enabled, connection pooling limits contention
2. **Certificate persistence** — Caddy certs need stable volume mount
- Workaround: Use persistent named volumes for `/data/caddy_*`
3. **Environment variability** — Different orgs may have different network configs
- Workaround: Pre-flight checks validate critical assumptions (ports, storage)
### Potential Issues
- Docker daemon availability (some restricted environments)
- HTTPS certificate warnings on first-time access
- Network isolation (VPN/Tailscale may affect CORS detection)
