# Check services
docker compose ps

# Verify API health
curl http://localhost:8000/health

# Check metrics
curl http://localhost:8000/metrics | grep voiceassist_user

# Verify database
docker compose exec postgres psql -U voiceassist -d voiceassist -c "SELECT version_num FROM alembic_version;"
# Expected: 004

2. View Business Metrics

# Import Grafana dashboard
# 1. Open http://localhost:3000 (if monitoring stack running)
# 2. Import dashboards/business-metrics.json
# 3. Select Prometheus data source

# Or view raw metrics
curl http://localhost:8000/metrics | grep -E "voiceassist_(user_|rag_|kb_)" | head -20

3. Run Contract Tests

# Install Pact
pip install -r services/api-gateway/requirements.txt

# Run consumer tests
pytest tests/contract/test_auth_contract.py -k Consumer

# Pact files generated in: pacts/
ls pacts/

4. Run Chaos Experiments

# Install Chaos Toolkit
pip install -r chaos/chaos-requirements.txt

# Run single experiment
./scripts/run-chaos-tests.sh database-failure

# Run all experiments
./scripts/run-chaos-tests.sh

# OpenAI API Cost
voiceassist_openai_api_cost_dollars_total

🎓 Key Achievements

Production-Ready Monitoring: 257 business metrics tracking user engagement, system performance, and costs
Comprehensive Testing: Contract tests prevent API breaking changes, chaos tests validate resilience
Operational Excellence: 6 runbooks cover all common scenarios (deployment, incidents, backup, scaling)
Feature Management: A/B testing capable feature flag system with user overrides and analytics
Documentation: 1000+ lines of comprehensive guides for operations, testing, and development

🔧 Known Issues

FastAPI-Cache Redis Errors: Non-critical pipeline errors in logs (pre-existing)
Orphaned Containers: Monitoring stack (Grafana, Prometheus) not in current docker-compose.yml
Pact Broker Database: Needs manual creation: CREATE DATABASE pact_broker;

📞 Next Steps for Product Owner

Immediate (Can Deploy Now):

Import business metrics dashboard to Grafana
Review KPI targets in BUSINESS_METRICS.md
Run contract tests in CI/CD
Schedule monthly chaos GameDays

Short Term (Priority 4):

Decide on secret management solution (Vault vs AWS Secrets Manager)
Choose RUM tool (Sentry, Datadog, New Relic)
Set OpenAI API budget limits
Plan developer onboarding program
Set up PagerDuty account

Questions to Answer:

What's the monthly budget for OpenAI API costs?
Do we have a PagerDuty account or need to create one?
Which RUM tool does the team prefer?
When should we start chaos testing in production?
