🚀 Deployment Steps

Step 1: Verify Installation

# Check all Phase 3 files are in place
ls -la server/perf/
ls -la server/utils/
ls server/index-phase3-patch.mjs

Expected Output:

server/perf/:
  metadata-cache.js
  performance-monitor.js

server/utils/:
  retry.js

server/:
  index-phase3-patch.mjs

Step 2: Start the Server

npm run start

Expected Output:

🚀 ObsiViewer server running on http://0.0.0.0:3000
📁 Vault directory: /path/to/vault
📊 Performance monitoring: http://0.0.0.0:3000/__perf
✅ Server ready - Meilisearch indexing in background

Step 3: Verify Endpoints

# Health check
curl http://localhost:3000/api/health

# Performance dashboard
curl http://localhost:3000/__perf | jq

# Metadata endpoint
curl http://localhost:3000/api/vault/metadata | jq '.items | length'

# Paginated metadata
curl http://localhost:3000/api/vault/metadata/paginated | jq '.items | length'

Expected Status: All return 200 OK

Step 4: Test Cache Behavior

# First request (cache miss)
echo "Request 1 (cache miss):"
time curl -s http://localhost:3000/api/vault/metadata > /dev/null

# Second request (cache hit)
echo "Request 2 (cache hit):"
time curl -s http://localhost:3000/api/vault/metadata > /dev/null

# Check metrics
echo "Cache statistics:"
curl -s http://localhost:3000/__perf | jq '.cache'

Expected:

• Request 2 should be significantly faster than Request 1
• Cache hit rate should increase over time

Step 5: Run Test Suite

node test-phase3.mjs

Expected Output:

✅ Health check - Status 200
✅ Performance monitoring endpoint - Status 200
✅ Metadata endpoint - Status 200
✅ Paginated metadata endpoint - Status 200
✅ Cache working correctly
📊 Test Results: 5 passed, 0 failed

📊 Performance Validation

Metrics to Verify (After 5 minutes)

# Cache hit rate (should be > 80%)
curl -s http://localhost:3000/__perf | jq '.cache.hitRate'

# Response latency (should be < 20ms for cached)
curl -s http://localhost:3000/__perf | jq '.performance.latency'

# Error rate (should be < 1%)
curl -s http://localhost:3000/__perf | jq '.performance.requests.errorRate'

# Circuit breaker state (should be "closed")
curl -s http://localhost:3000/__perf | jq '.circuitBreaker.state'

Expected Results

Metric	Target	Actual
Cache Hit Rate	> 80%	_____
Avg Latency	< 50ms	_____
P95 Latency	< 200ms	_____
Error Rate	< 1%	_____
Circuit Breaker	closed	_____
Startup Time	< 2s	_____

🧪 Functional Testing

Test 1: Cache Invalidation

# Add a new file to vault
echo "# New Note" > vault/test-note.md

# Check that cache is invalidated
curl -s http://localhost:3000/__perf | jq '.cache.misses'

# Should see an increase in misses

Status: [ ] Pass [ ] Fail

Test 2: Fallback Behavior

# Stop Meilisearch
docker-compose down

# Make requests (should use filesystem fallback)
curl http://localhost:3000/api/vault/metadata

# Check retry counts
curl -s http://localhost:3000/__perf | jq '.performance.retries'

# Restart Meilisearch
docker-compose up -d

Status: [ ] Pass [ ] Fail

Test 3: Graceful Shutdown

# Start server
npm run start

# In another terminal, send SIGINT
# Press Ctrl+C

# Should see:
# 🛑 Shutting down server...
# ✅ Server shutdown complete

Status: [ ] Pass [ ] Fail

Test 4: Load Testing

# Make many concurrent requests
for i in {1..100}; do
  curl -s http://localhost:3000/api/vault/metadata > /dev/null &
done

# Check metrics
curl -s http://localhost:3000/__perf | jq '.performance'

# Should handle without errors

Status: [ ] Pass [ ] Fail

🔍 Monitoring Setup

Set Up Real-Time Monitoring

# Terminal 1: Start server
npm run start

# Terminal 2: Watch metrics
watch -n 1 'curl -s http://localhost:3000/__perf | jq .'

# Terminal 3: Generate load
while true; do
  curl -s http://localhost:3000/api/vault/metadata > /dev/null
  sleep 1
done

Key Metrics to Monitor

• Cache hit rate increasing over time
• Response latency decreasing for cached requests
• Error rate staying low
• Circuit breaker staying closed
• Memory usage stable

🚨 Rollback Plan

If issues occur, rollback is simple:

# 1. Stop the server
# Press Ctrl+C

# 2. Restore from backup
cp server/index.mjs.backup.* server/index.mjs

# 3. Remove Phase 3 files
rm -rf server/perf/
rm -rf server/utils/
rm server/index-phase3-patch.mjs

# 4. Restart server
npm run start

# 5. Verify it works
curl http://localhost:3000/api/health

Rollback Time: < 2 minutes
