Migration Guide (For Production Cutover)

Pre-Migration Steps

Backup existing database:

mysqldump -u root -p waddleperf > /backups/waddleperf_pre_migration_$(date +%s).sql

Export old data:

python database/migrations/001_clean_slate_migration.py export
# Creates: /tmp/waddleperf_export_<timestamp>.json

Test migration on staging:

# Restore staging DB from backup
# Run migration on staging
python database/migrations/001_clean_slate_migration.py migrate
# Validate results
python database/migrations/001_clean_slate_migration.py validate

Migration Steps

Maintenance window: Schedule downtime
Stop old services: docker compose down

Run database migration:

python database/migrations/001_clean_slate_migration.py migrate

Validate migration:

python database/migrations/001_clean_slate_migration.py validate

Start new services: docker compose up -d
Smoke tests: Verify all services healthy
User acceptance testing: Validate critical workflows

Rollback Plan

If issues arise:

# Stop new services
docker compose down

# Rollback database
python database/migrations/001_clean_slate_migration.py rollback

# OR restore from backup
mysql -u root -p waddleperf < /backups/waddleperf_pre_migration_<timestamp>.sql

# Revert docker-compose.yml
git checkout HEAD~1 docker-compose.yml

# Start old services
docker compose up -d

Next Steps

Immediate (Week 1-2)

Configure registry DNS or use alternate registry (e.g., Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry)
Build and push multi-arch images to registry
Create Kubernetes secrets (DB credentials, JWT secrets)
Deploy to staging Kubernetes cluster for integration testing
Run full test suite (unit, integration, smoke, E2E)

Short-Term (Week 3-4)

Test database migration on staging data
User acceptance testing with stakeholders
Performance testing and optimization
Update documentation (API docs, deployment guides)
Security audit (vulnerability scanning, penetration testing)

Production Deployment (Week 5-6)

Schedule maintenance window for production cutover
Execute migration plan with rollback readiness
Monitor post-deployment (metrics, logs, alerts)
Communicate to users about new features (password reset, MFA)
Post-mortem and lessons learned

Infrastructure Requirements

Docker: 20.10+ with buildx support
Kubernetes: 1.24+
Registry: registry-dal2.penguintech.io (or alternate)
Database: MariaDB 10.6+ or PostgreSQL 13+ or MySQL 8.0+

Known Issues & Limitations

1. Registry DNS Resolution

Issue: registry-dal2.penguintech.io DNS not resolvable Impact: Cannot push multi-arch images Workaround: Use alternate registry (Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry) or configure DNS Status: Blocker for Kubernetes deployment

2. PostgreSQL Support

Issue: psycopg2-binary build fails on Python 3.13 Impact: PostgreSQL support unavailable in current build Workaround: Removed psycopg2-binary from requirements (MySQL/SQLite only for now) Status: Non-critical (PyDAL can use alternate PostgreSQL drivers)

3. Flask-Security-Too Integration

Issue: Not fully integrated in app.py yet Impact: Custom auth decorators still needed Status: Deferred to post-deployment integration Next Step: Add user datastore and Security() initialization

4. Data Migration Testing

Issue: Migration script created but not tested with production data Impact: Unknown issues may arise during actual migration Mitigation: Test on staging data before production Status: Requires staging environment
