# Deployment Guide This guide provides comprehensive instructions for deploying the DBIS Core Banking System to production. ## Deployment Architecture ```mermaid graph TB subgraph "Production Environment" LB[Load Balancer] subgraph "Application Tier" APP1[App Instance 1] APP2[App Instance 2] APPN[App Instance N] end subgraph "Database Tier" DB_PRIMARY[(Primary Database)] DB_REPLICA1[(Replica 1)] DB_REPLICA2[(Replica 2)] end subgraph "Cache Tier" CACHE1[(Redis 1)] CACHE2[(Redis 2)] end subgraph "Monitoring" METRICS[Metrics Collector] LOGS[Log Aggregator] end LB --> APP1 LB --> APP2 LB --> APPN APP1 --> DB_PRIMARY APP2 --> DB_PRIMARY APPN --> DB_PRIMARY DB_PRIMARY --> DB_REPLICA1 DB_PRIMARY --> DB_REPLICA2 APP1 --> CACHE1 APP2 --> CACHE2 APP1 --> METRICS APP2 --> METRICS APPN --> METRICS APP1 --> LOGS APP2 --> LOGS APPN --> LOGS end ``` ## CI/CD Pipeline ```mermaid graph LR subgraph "CI/CD Pipeline" COMMIT[Git Commit] BUILD[Build] TEST[Run Tests] LINT[Lint & Format] SECURITY[Security Scan] DEPLOY[Deploy] end COMMIT --> BUILD BUILD --> TEST TEST --> LINT LINT --> SECURITY SECURITY --> DEPLOY ``` ## Production Setup ### Environment Variables All required environment variables must be set in production: - `DATABASE_URL` - PostgreSQL connection string - `JWT_SECRET` - Must be at least 32 characters, use strong random string - `ALLOWED_ORIGINS` - Comma-separated list of allowed CORS origins (no wildcards) - `NODE_ENV` - Set to `production` - `LOG_LEVEL` - Recommended: `info` or `warn` - `HSM_ENABLED` - Set to `true` if using HSM hardware ### Database Migrations 1. Generate Prisma client: ```bash npx prisma generate ``` 2. Run migrations: ```bash npx prisma migrate deploy ``` 3. Verify migration status: ```bash npx prisma migrate status ``` ### Build Process 1. Install dependencies: ```bash npm ci ``` 2. Generate Prisma client: ```bash npx prisma generate ``` 3. Build TypeScript: ```bash npm run build ``` 4. Start the application: ```bash npm start ``` ### Health Checks The application provides a health check endpoint at `/health` that verifies: - Database connectivity - HSM availability (if enabled) - Application status ### Monitoring Setup 1. Configure logging to external service (if needed) 2. Set up metrics collection (Prometheus) 3. Configure alerting for critical errors 4. Monitor database performance ### Security Checklist - [ ] All environment variables validated - [ ] JWT_SECRET is strong and secure - [ ] CORS origins are properly configured - [ ] HSM is enabled and configured - [ ] Database credentials are secure - [ ] Rate limiting is configured - [ ] Security headers are enabled (Helmet) - [ ] Audit logging is enabled ### Scaling Considerations - Use connection pooling for database - Consider horizontal scaling with load balancer - Monitor resource usage - Set up database read replicas if needed ## Deployment Recommendations ### Infrastructure as Code **Priority: High** 1. **Infrastructure Automation** - **Description**: Use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for all infrastructure - **Implementation**: - Use Terraform or CloudFormation - Version control infrastructure code - Automate provisioning and updates - **Impact**: Ensures consistent infrastructure and reduces manual errors - **Dependencies**: IaC tool configured, cloud provider access 2. **Environment Management** - **Description**: Separate environments for dev, staging, production - **Implementation**: - Use environment-specific configurations - Never use production data in dev - Secure environment variables - **Impact**: Prevents production issues and data leaks - **Dependencies**: Environment separation configured ### Deployment Strategy **Priority: High** 1. **Blue-Green Deployment** - **Description**: Implement blue-green deployment strategy - **Implementation**: - Deploy new version alongside current version - Switch traffic after validation - Keep previous version for rollback - **Impact**: Enables zero-downtime deployments - **Dependencies**: Load balancer, deployment automation 2. **Database Migration Strategy** - **Description**: Safe database migration process - **Implementation**: - Test migrations in staging - Backup before migrations - Plan rollback procedures - Use migration versioning - **Impact**: Prevents data loss and downtime - **Dependencies**: Database backup system, migration tools ### Monitoring & Alerting **Priority: Critical** 1. **Health Monitoring** - **Description**: Comprehensive health monitoring - **Implementation**: - Monitor application health endpoints - Track database connectivity - Monitor HSM availability - Set up alerting for failures - **Impact**: Enables proactive issue detection - **Dependencies**: Monitoring infrastructure, alerting system 2. **Performance Monitoring** - **Description**: Monitor system performance - **Implementation**: - Track API response times - Monitor database query performance - Track resource utilization - Set performance alerts - **Impact**: Enables performance optimization - **Dependencies**: APM tools, metrics collection ### Disaster Recovery **Priority: Critical** 1. **Backup Strategy** - **Description**: Automated backup system - **Implementation**: - Daily full backups - Hourly incremental backups - Store backups in multiple locations - Test restore procedures regularly - **Impact**: Enables recovery from data loss - **Dependencies**: Backup storage, backup automation 2. **Multi-Region Deployment** - **Description**: Deploy across multiple regions - **Implementation**: - Deploy active-active in primary regions - Implement cross-region replication - Test failover procedures - Monitor cross-region latency - **Impact**: Ensures availability during regional outages - **Dependencies**: Multi-region infrastructure, replication configured For more detailed recommendations, see [RECOMMENDATIONS.md](./RECOMMENDATIONS.md) and [monitoring.md](./monitoring.md).
