🔐 Production Security Checklist

Essential Security Tasks

• Update all secrets with production values
• Enable sealed-secrets encryption for production
• Configure RBAC with least privilege access
• Set up network policies for pod-to-pod communication
• Enable pod security policies and security contexts
• Configure ingress with rate limiting and WAF
• Set up backup and disaster recovery procedures
• Enable audit logging for compliance requirements

Security Commands

# Generate sealed secrets for production
echo -n 'production-secret-value' | kubectl create secret generic app-secrets --dry-run=client --from-file=secret=/dev/stdin -o yaml | kubeseal -o yaml > sealed-secret.yaml

# Apply production security policies
kubectl apply -f infrastructure/kubernetes/security/production/

# Enable network policies
kubectl apply -f infrastructure/kubernetes/network-policies/

🚀 Deployment Workflow

Automated Deployments

# Staging (auto-deploys from develop branch)
git checkout develop
git add .
git commit -m "feat: new feature implementation"
git push origin develop
# → Automatically deploys to staging environment

# Production (manual approval required)
git checkout main
git merge develop
git tag v1.0.0
git push origin main --tags
# → Creates pull request for production deployment
# → Manual approval required in ArgoCD UI

Manual Deployment Controls

# Sync applications manually
kubectl patch application vibecode-webgui-production -n argocd -p '{"operation":{"sync":{}}}'

# Rollback to previous version
kubectl patch application vibecode-webgui-production -n argocd -p '{"operation":{"rollback":{"id":"previous-revision-id"}}}'

# Scale production application
kubectl scale deployment vibecode-webgui -n vibecode-webgui-production --replicas=10

---

📈 Performance & Scaling

Auto-scaling Configuration

# Apply production auto-scaling
kubectl apply -f infrastructure/kubernetes/autoscaling/production/

# Monitor scaling events
kubectl get hpa -n vibecode-webgui-production -w
kubectl describe hpa vibecode-webgui-hpa -n vibecode-webgui-production

Database Connection Pooling

Connection pooling significantly improves performance for vector database operations:

# Monitor connection pool metrics
kubectl exec -it deployment/vibecode-webgui -n vibecode-webgui-production -- curl http://localhost:3000/api/admin/metrics/connection-pool

# Optimize pool settings (example)
kubectl set env deployment/vibecode-webgui -n vibecode-webgui-production \
  CONNECTION_POOL_MIN_CONNECTIONS=5 \
  CONNECTION_POOL_MAX_CONNECTIONS=20

# Check pool utilization from logs
kubectl logs -f deployment/vibecode-webgui -n vibecode-webgui-production | grep "Connection pool"

Resource Optimization

# View resource usage
kubectl top pods -n vibecode-webgui-production
kubectl top nodes

# Update resource requests/limits
kubectl patch deployment vibecode-webgui -n vibecode-webgui-production -p '
{
  "spec": {
    "template": {
      "spec": {
        "containers": [{
          "name": "vibecode-webgui",
          "resources": {
            "requests": {"cpu": "500m", "memory": "1Gi"},
            "limits": {"cpu": "2000m", "memory": "4Gi"}
          }
        }]
      }
    }
  }
}'
