## Usage Guide

### Running Smoke Tests

```bash
# Set environment variables (optional)
export API_URL=https://api.sankofa.nexus
export PORTAL_URL=https://portal.sankofa.nexus

# Run smoke tests
./scripts/smoke-tests.sh
```

### Running Performance Tests

```bash
# Using k6 (recommended)
k6 run scripts/k6-load-test.js

# Using performance test script
./scripts/performance-test.sh

# With custom parameters
TEST_DURATION=10m VUS=50 ./scripts/performance-test.sh
```

### Verifying Backups

```bash
# Verify backups
./scripts/verify-backups.sh

# With custom backup directory
BACKUP_DIR=/custom/backup/path ./scripts/verify-backups.sh
```

### Deploying Backup Automation

```bash
# Apply backup CronJob
kubectl apply -f gitops/apps/monitoring/backup-cronjob.yaml

# Check CronJob status
kubectl get cronjob -n api postgres-backup

# View CronJob logs
kubectl logs -n api job/postgres-backup-<timestamp>
```

### Deploying Alert Rules

```bash
# Apply alert rules
kubectl apply -f gitops/apps/monitoring/alert-rules.yaml

# Verify PrometheusRules
kubectl get prometheusrules -n monitoring

# Check alert status
kubectl get prometheusalerts -n monitoring
```

## Next Actions

### Immediate Actions
1. **Review Runbooks**: Team should review all runbooks and provide feedback
2. **Test Scripts**: Run all scripts in staging environment
3. **Deploy Alerts**: Apply alert rules to monitoring namespace
4. **Configure Backups**: Set up backup CronJob and verify it runs
5. **Environment Config**: Complete environment configuration checklist

### Pre-Launch Actions
1. **Run Smoke Tests**: Verify all services are healthy
2. **Performance Testing**: Run load tests and verify thresholds
3. **Backup Verification**: Verify backups are working correctly
