+# Docker Hub Quick Start Guide
+
+## 🚀 Quick Setup (3 Steps)
+
+### 1. Create Docker Hub Secrets
+
+```bash
+./infrastructure/kubernetes/setup-dockerhub-secrets.sh
+```
+
+This creates the `dockerhub-creds` secret in all namespaces with your Docker Hub credentials.
+
+### 2. Apply Updated Manifests
+
+```bash
+# Development environment
+kubectl apply -k infrastructure/kubernetes/overlays/dev
+
+# Production environment
+kubectl apply -k infrastructure/kubernetes/overlays/prod
+```
+
+### 3. Verify Pods Are Running
+
+```bash
+kubectl get pods -n bakery-ia
+```
+
+All pods should now be able to pull images from Docker Hub!
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 What Was Configured
+
+✅ **Docker Hub Credentials**
+- Username: `uals`
+- Access Token: `dckr_pat_zzEY5Q58x1S0puraIoKEtbpue3A`
+- Email: `ualfaro@gmail.com`
+
+✅ **Kubernetes Secrets**
+- Created in: `bakery-ia`, `bakery-ia-dev`, `bakery-ia-prod`, `default`
+- Secret name: `dockerhub-creds`
+
+✅ **Manifests Updated (47 files)**
+- All service deployments
+- All database deployments
+- All migration jobs
+- All cronjobs and standalone jobs
+
+✅ **Tiltfile Configuration**
+- Supports both local registry and Docker Hub
+- Use `export USE_DOCKERHUB=true` to enable Docker Hub mode
+
+---
+
+## 📖 Full Documentation
+
+See [docs/DOCKERHUB_SETUP.md](docs/DOCKERHUB_SETUP.md) for:
+- Detailed configuration steps
+- Troubleshooting guide
+- Security best practices
+- Image management
+- Rate limits information
+
+---
+
+## 🔄 Using with Tilt (Local Development)
+
+**Default: Local Registry**
+```bash
+tilt up
+```
+
+**Docker Hub Mode**
+```bash
+export USE_DOCKERHUB=true
+export DOCKERHUB_USERNAME=uals
+docker login -u uals
+tilt up
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🐳 Pushing Images to Docker Hub
+
+```bash
+# Login first
+docker login -u uals
+
+# Use the automated script
+./scripts/tag-and-push-images.sh
+```
+
+---
+
+## ⚠️ Troubleshooting
+
+**Problem: ImagePullBackOff**
+```bash
+# Check if secret exists
+kubectl get secret dockerhub-creds -n bakery-ia
+
+# Recreate secret if needed
+./infrastructure/kubernetes/setup-dockerhub-secrets.sh
+```
+
+**Problem: Pods not using new credentials**
+```bash
+# Restart deployment
+kubectl rollout restart deployment/<deployment-name> -n bakery-ia
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Scripts Reference
+
+| Script | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|
+| `infrastructure/kubernetes/setup-dockerhub-secrets.sh` | Create Docker Hub secrets in all namespaces |
+| `infrastructure/kubernetes/add-image-pull-secrets.sh` | Add imagePullSecrets to manifests (already done) |
+| `scripts/tag-and-push-images.sh` | Tag and push all custom images to Docker Hub |
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Verification Checklist
+
+- [ ] Docker Hub secret created: `kubectl get secret dockerhub-creds -n bakery-ia`
+- [ ] Manifests applied: `kubectl apply -k infrastructure/kubernetes/overlays/dev`
+- [ ] Pods running: `kubectl get pods -n bakery-ia`
+- [ ] No ImagePullBackOff errors: `kubectl get events -n bakery-ia`

+# Database Monitoring with SigNoz
+
+This guide explains how to collect metrics and logs from PostgreSQL, Redis, and RabbitMQ databases and send them to SigNoz.
+
+## Table of Contents
+
+1. [Overview](#overview)
+2. [PostgreSQL Monitoring](#postgresql-monitoring)
+3. [Redis Monitoring](#redis-monitoring)
+4. [RabbitMQ Monitoring](#rabbitmq-monitoring)
+5. [Database Logs Export](#database-logs-export)
+6. [Dashboard Examples](#dashboard-examples)
+
+## Overview
+
+**Database monitoring provides:**
+- **Metrics**: Connection pools, query performance, cache hit rates, disk usage
+- **Logs**: Query logs, error logs, slow query logs
+- **Correlation**: Link database metrics with application traces
+
+**Three approaches for database monitoring:**
+
+1. **OpenTelemetry Collector Receivers** (Recommended)
+   - Deploy OTel collector as sidecar or separate deployment
+   - Scrape database metrics and forward to SigNoz
+   - No code changes needed
+
+2. **Application-Level Instrumentation** (Already Implemented)
+   - Use OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation in your services
+   - Captures database queries as spans in traces
+   - Shows query duration, errors in application context
+
+3. **Database Exporters** (Advanced)
+   - Dedicated exporters (postgres_exporter, redis_exporter)
+   - More detailed database-specific metrics
+   - Requires additional deployment
+
+## PostgreSQL Monitoring
+
+### Option 1: OpenTelemetry Collector with PostgreSQL Receiver (Recommended)
+
+Deploy an OpenTelemetry collector instance to scrape PostgreSQL metrics.
+
+#### Step 1: Create PostgreSQL Monitoring User
+
+```sql
+-- Create monitoring user with read-only access
+CREATE USER otel_monitor WITH PASSWORD 'your-secure-password';
+GRANT pg_monitor TO otel_monitor;
+GRANT CONNECT ON DATABASE your_database TO otel_monitor;
+```
+
+#### Step 2: Deploy OTel Collector for PostgreSQL
+
+Create a dedicated collector deployment:
+
+```yaml
+# infrastructure/kubernetes/base/monitoring/postgres-otel-collector.yaml
+apiVersion: apps/v1
+kind: Deployment
+metadata:
+  name: postgres-otel-collector
+  namespace: bakery-ia
+  labels:
+    app: postgres-otel-collector
+spec:
+  replicas: 1
+  selector:
+    matchLabels:
+      app: postgres-otel-collector
+  template:
+    metadata:
+      labels:
+        app: postgres-otel-collector
+    spec:
+      containers:
+      - name: otel-collector
+        image: otel/opentelemetry-collector-contrib:latest
+        ports:
+        - containerPort: 4318
+          name: otlp-http
+        - containerPort: 4317
+          name: otlp-grpc
+        volumeMounts:
+        - name: config
+          mountPath: /etc/otel-collector
+        command:
+          - /otelcol-contrib
+          - --config=/etc/otel-collector/config.yaml

+
+#### Step 3: Create Secrets
+
+```bash
+# Create secret for monitoring user password
+kubectl create secret generic postgres-monitor-secrets \
+  -n bakery-ia \
+  --from-literal=POSTGRES_MONITOR_PASSWORD='your-secure-password'
+```
+
+#### Step 4: Deploy
+
+```bash
+kubectl apply -f infrastructure/kubernetes/base/monitoring/postgres-otel-collector.yaml
+```
+
+### Option 2: Application-Level Database Metrics (Already Implemented)
+
+Your services already collect database metrics via SQLAlchemy instrumentation:
+
+**Metrics automatically collected:**
+- `db.client.connections.usage` - Active database connections
+- `db.client.operation.duration` - Query duration (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE)
+- Query traces with SQL statements (in trace spans)
+
+**View in SigNoz:**
+1. Go to Traces → Select a service → Filter by `db.operation`
+2. See individual database queries with duration
+3. Identify slow queries causing latency
+
+### PostgreSQL Metrics Reference
+
+| Metric | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `postgresql.backends` | Number of active connections |
+| `postgresql.database.size` | Database size in bytes |
+| `postgresql.commits` | Transaction commits |
+| `postgresql.rollbacks` | Transaction rollbacks |
+| `postgresql.deadlocks` | Deadlock count |
+| `postgresql.blocks_read` | Blocks read from disk |
+| `postgresql.table.size` | Table size in bytes |
+| `postgresql.index.size` | Index size in bytes |
+| `postgresql.rows` | Rows inserted/updated/deleted |
+
+## Redis Monitoring
+
+### Option 1: OpenTelemetry Collector with Redis Receiver (Recommended)
+
+```yaml
+# Add to postgres-otel-collector config or create separate collector
+receivers:
+  redis:
+    endpoint: redis-service.bakery-ia:6379
+    password: ${REDIS_PASSWORD}
+    collection_interval: 30s
+    tls:
+      insecure_skip_verify: false
+      cert_file: /etc/redis-tls/redis-cert.pem
+      key_file: /etc/redis-tls/redis-key.pem
+      ca_file: /etc/redis-tls/ca-cert.pem
+    metrics:
+      redis.clients.connected: true
+      redis.clients.blocked: true
+      redis.commands.processed: true
+      redis.commands.duration: true
+      redis.db.keys: true
+      redis.db.expires: true
+      redis.keyspace.hits: true
+      redis.keyspace.misses: true
+      redis.memory.used: true
+      redis.memory.peak: true
+      redis.memory.fragmentation_ratio: true
+      redis.cpu.time: true
+      redis.replication.offset: true
+```
+
+### Option 2: Application-Level Redis Metrics (Already Implemented)
+
+Your services already collect Redis metrics via Redis instrumentation:
+
+**Metrics automatically collected:**
+- Redis command traces (GET, SET, etc.) in spans
+- Command duration
+- Command errors
+
+### Redis Metrics Reference
+
+| Metric | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `redis.clients.connected` | Connected clients |
+| `redis.commands.processed` | Total commands processed |
+| `redis.keyspace.hits` | Cache hit rate |
+| `redis.keyspace.misses` | Cache miss rate |
+| `redis.memory.used` | Memory usage in bytes |
+| `redis.memory.fragmentation_ratio` | Memory fragmentation |
+| `redis.db.keys` | Number of keys per database |
+
+## RabbitMQ Monitoring
+
+### Option 1: RabbitMQ Management Plugin + OpenTelemetry (Recommended)
+
+RabbitMQ exposes metrics via its management API.
+
+```yaml
+receivers:
+  rabbitmq:
+    endpoint: http://rabbitmq-service.bakery-ia:15672
+    username: ${RABBITMQ_USER}
+    password: ${RABBITMQ_PASSWORD}
+    collection_interval: 30s
+    metrics:
+      rabbitmq.consumer.count: true
+      rabbitmq.message.current: true
+      rabbitmq.message.acknowledged: true
+      rabbitmq.message.delivered: true
+      rabbitmq.message.published: true
+      rabbitmq.queue.count: true

+## Database Logs Export
+
+### PostgreSQL Logs
+
+#### Option 1: Configure PostgreSQL to Log to Stdout (Kubernetes-native)
+
+PostgreSQL logs should go to stdout/stderr, which Kubernetes automatically captures.
+
+**Update PostgreSQL configuration:**
+
+```yaml
+# In your postgres deployment ConfigMap
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: ConfigMap
+metadata:
+  name: postgres-config
+  namespace: bakery-ia
+data:
+  postgresql.conf: |
+    # Logging
+    logging_collector = off  # Use stdout/stderr instead
+    log_destination = 'stderr'
+    log_statement = 'all'  # Or 'ddl', 'mod', 'none'
+    log_duration = on
+    log_line_prefix = '%t [%p]: user=%u,db=%d,app=%a,client=%h '
+    log_min_duration_statement = 100  # Log queries > 100ms
+    log_checkpoints = on
+    log_connections = on
+    log_disconnections = on
+    log_lock_waits = on
+```
+
+#### Option 2: OpenTelemetry Filelog Receiver
+
+If PostgreSQL writes to files, use filelog receiver:
+
+```yaml
+receivers:
+  filelog/postgres:
+    include:
+      - /var/log/postgresql/*.log
+    start_at: end
+    operators:
+      - type: regex_parser
+        regex: '^(?P<timestamp>\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}.\d+) \[(?P<pid>\d+)\]: user=(?P<user>[^,]+),db=(?P<database>[^,]+),app=(?P<application>[^,]+),client=(?P<client>[^ ]+) (?P<level>[A-Z]+):  (?P<message>.*)'
+        timestamp:
+          parse_from: attributes.timestamp
+          layout: '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f'
+      - type: move
+        from: attributes.level
+        to: severity
+      - type: add
+        field: attributes["database.system"]
+        value: "postgresql"
+
+processors:
+  resource/postgres:
+    attributes:
+      - key: database.system
+        value: postgresql
+        action: insert
+      - key: service.name
+        value: postgres-logs
+        action: insert
+
+exporters:
+  otlphttp/logs:
+    endpoint: http://signoz-otel-collector.signoz.svc.cluster.local:4318/v1/logs
+
+service:
+  pipelines:
+    logs/postgres:
+      receivers: [filelog/postgres]
+      processors: [resource/postgres, batch]
+      exporters: [otlphttp/logs]
+```
+
+### Redis Logs
+
+Redis logs should go to stdout, which Kubernetes captures automatically. View them in SigNoz by:
+
+1. Ensuring Redis pods log to stdout
+2. No additional configuration needed - Kubernetes logs are available
+3. Optional: Use Kubernetes logs collection (see below)
+
+### Kubernetes Logs Collection (All Pods)
+
+Deploy a DaemonSet to collect all Kubernetes pod logs:
+
+```yaml
+# infrastructure/kubernetes/base/monitoring/logs-collector-daemonset.yaml
+apiVersion: apps/v1
+kind: DaemonSet
+metadata:
+  name: otel-logs-collector
+  namespace: bakery-ia
+spec:
+  selector:
+    matchLabels:
+      name: otel-logs-collector
+  template:
+    metadata:
+      labels:
+        name: otel-logs-collector
+    spec:
+      serviceAccountName: otel-logs-collector
+      containers:
+      - name: otel-collector
+        image: otel/opentelemetry-collector-contrib:latest
+        volumeMounts:
+        - name: varlog
+          mountPath: /var/log
+          readOnly: true
+        - name: varlibdockercontainers
+          mountPath: /var/lib/docker/containers
+          readOnly: true
+        - name: config
+          mountPath: /etc/otel-collector
+      volumes:
+      - name: varlog
+        hostPath:
+          path: /var/log
+      - name: varlibdockercontainers
+        hostPath:
+          path: /var/lib/docker/containers
+      - name: config
+        configMap:
+          name: otel-logs-collector-config
+---
+apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
+kind: ClusterRole
+metadata:
+  name: otel-logs-collector
+rules:
+- apiGroups: [""]
+  resources: ["pods", "namespaces"]
+  verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]
+---
+apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1

+
+## Dashboard Examples
+
+### PostgreSQL Dashboard in SigNoz
+
+Create a custom dashboard with these panels:
+
+1. **Active Connections**
+   - Query: `postgresql.backends`
+   - Group by: `database.name`
+
+2. **Query Rate**
+   - Query: `rate(postgresql.commits[5m])`
+
+3. **Database Size**
+   - Query: `postgresql.database.size`
+   - Group by: `database.name`
+
+4. **Slow Queries**
+   - Go to Traces
+   - Filter: `db.system="postgresql" AND duration > 1s`
+   - See slow queries with full SQL
+
+5. **Connection Pool Usage**
+   - Query: `db.client.connections.usage`
+   - Group by: `service`
+
+### Redis Dashboard
+
+1. **Hit Rate**
+   - Query: `redis.keyspace.hits / (redis.keyspace.hits + redis.keyspace.misses)`
+
+2. **Memory Usage**
+   - Query: `redis.memory.used`
+
+3. **Connected Clients**
+   - Query: `redis.clients.connected`
+
+4. **Commands Per Second**
+   - Query: `rate(redis.commands.processed[1m])`
+
+## Quick Reference: What's Monitored
+
+| Database | Metrics | Logs | Traces |
+|----------|---------|------|--------|
+| **PostgreSQL** | ✅ Via receiver<br>✅ Via app instrumentation | ✅ Stdout/stderr<br>✅ Optional filelog | ✅ Query spans in traces |
+| **Redis** | ✅ Via receiver<br>✅ Via app instrumentation | ✅ Stdout/stderr | ✅ Command spans in traces |
+| **RabbitMQ** | ✅ Via receiver | ✅ Stdout/stderr | ✅ Publish/consume spans |
+
+## Deployment Checklist
+
+- [ ] Deploy OpenTelemetry collector for database metrics
+- [ ] Create monitoring users in PostgreSQL
+- [ ] Configure database logging to stdout
+- [ ] Verify metrics appear in SigNoz
+- [ ] Create database dashboards
+- [ ] Set up alerts for connection limits, slow queries, high memory
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No PostgreSQL metrics
+
+```bash
+# Check collector logs
+kubectl logs -n bakery-ia deployment/postgres-otel-collector
+
+# Test connection to database
+kubectl exec -n bakery-ia deployment/postgres-otel-collector -- \
+  psql -h auth-db-service -U otel_monitor -d auth_db -c "SELECT 1"
+```
+
+### No Redis metrics
+
+```bash
+# Check Redis connection
+kubectl exec -n bakery-ia deployment/postgres-otel-collector -- \
+  redis-cli -h redis-service -a PASSWORD ping
+```
+
+### Logs not appearing
+
+```bash
+# Check if logs are going to stdout
+kubectl logs -n bakery-ia postgres-pod-name
+
+# Check logs collector
+kubectl logs -n bakery-ia daemonset/otel-logs-collector
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use dedicated monitoring users** - Don't use application database users
+2. **Set appropriate collection intervals** - 30s-60s for metrics
+3. **Monitor connection pool saturation** - Alert before exhausting connections
+4. **Track slow queries** - Set `log_min_duration_statement` appropriately
+5. **Monitor disk usage** - PostgreSQL database size growth
+6. **Track cache hit rates** - Redis keyspace hits/misses ratio

+# Docker Hub Configuration Guide
+
+This guide explains how to configure Docker Hub for all image pulls in the Bakery IA project.
+
+## Overview
+
+The project has been configured to use Docker Hub credentials for pulling both:
+- **Base images** (postgres, redis, python, node, nginx, etc.)
+- **Custom bakery images** (bakery/auth-service, bakery/gateway, etc.)
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Create Docker Hub Secret in Kubernetes
+
+Run the automated setup script:
+
+```bash
+./infrastructure/kubernetes/setup-dockerhub-secrets.sh
+```
+
+This script will:
+- Create the `dockerhub-creds` secret in all namespaces (bakery-ia, bakery-ia-dev, bakery-ia-prod, default)
+- Use the credentials: `uals` / `dckr_pat_zzEY5Q58x1S0puraIoKEtbpue3A`
+
+### 2. Apply Updated Kubernetes Manifests
+
+All manifests have been updated with `imagePullSecrets`. Apply them:
+
+```bash
+# For development
+kubectl apply -k infrastructure/kubernetes/overlays/dev
+
+# For production
+kubectl apply -k infrastructure/kubernetes/overlays/prod
+```
+
+### 3. Verify Pods Can Pull Images
+
+```bash
+# Check pod status
+kubectl get pods -n bakery-ia
+
+# Check events for image pull status
+kubectl get events -n bakery-ia --sort-by='.lastTimestamp'
+
+# Describe a specific pod to see image pull details
+kubectl describe pod <pod-name> -n bakery-ia
+```
+
+## Manual Setup
+
+If you prefer to create the secret manually:
+
+```bash
+kubectl create secret docker-registry dockerhub-creds \
+  --docker-server=docker.io \
+  --docker-username=uals \
+  --docker-password=dckr_pat_zzEY5Q58x1S0puraIoKEtbpue3A \
+  --docker-email=ualfaro@gmail.com \
+  -n bakery-ia
+```
+
+Repeat for other namespaces:
+```bash
+kubectl create secret docker-registry dockerhub-creds \
+  --docker-server=docker.io \
+  --docker-username=uals \
+  --docker-password=dckr_pat_zzEY5Q58x1S0puraIoKEtbpue3A \
+  --docker-email=ualfaro@gmail.com \
+  -n bakery-ia-dev
+
+kubectl create secret docker-registry dockerhub-creds \
+  --docker-server=docker.io \
+  --docker-username=uals \
+  --docker-password=dckr_pat_zzEY5Q58x1S0puraIoKEtbpue3A \
+  --docker-email=ualfaro@gmail.com \
+  -n bakery-ia-prod
+```
+
+## What Was Changed
+
+### 1. Kubernetes Manifests (47 files updated)
+
+All deployments, jobs, and cronjobs now include `imagePullSecrets`:
+
+```yaml
+spec:
+  template:
+    spec:
+      imagePullSecrets:
+      - name: dockerhub-creds
+      containers:
+      - name: ...
+```
+
+**Files Updated:**
+- **19 Service Deployments**: All microservices (auth, tenant, forecasting, etc.)
+- **21 Database Deployments**: All PostgreSQL instances, Redis, RabbitMQ
+- **21 Migration Jobs**: All database migration jobs
+- **2 CronJobs**: demo-cleanup, external-data-rotation
+- **2 Standalone Jobs**: external-data-init, nominatim-init
+- **1 Worker Deployment**: demo-cleanup-worker
+
+### 2. Tiltfile Configuration
+
+The Tiltfile now supports both local registry and Docker Hub:
+
+**Default (Local Registry):**
+```bash
+tilt up
+```
+
+**Docker Hub Mode:**
+```bash
+export USE_DOCKERHUB=true
+export DOCKERHUB_USERNAME=uals
+tilt up
+```
+
+### 3. Scripts
+
+Two new scripts were created:
+
+1. **[setup-dockerhub-secrets.sh](../infrastructure/kubernetes/setup-dockerhub-secrets.sh)**
+   - Creates Docker Hub secrets in all namespaces
+   - Idempotent (safe to run multiple times)
+
+2. **[add-image-pull-secrets.sh](../infrastructure/kubernetes/add-image-pull-secrets.sh)**
+   - Adds `imagePullSecrets` to all Kubernetes manifests
+   - Already run (no need to run again unless adding new manifests)
+
+## Using Docker Hub with Tilt
+
+To use Docker Hub for development with Tilt:
+
+```bash
+# Login to Docker Hub first
+docker login -u uals
+
+# Enable Docker Hub mode
+export USE_DOCKERHUB=true
+export DOCKERHUB_USERNAME=uals
+
+# Start Tilt
+tilt up
+```
+
+This will:
+- Build images locally
+- Tag them as `docker.io/uals/<image-name>`
+- Push them to Docker Hub
+- Deploy to Kubernetes with imagePullSecrets
+
+## Images Configuration
+
+### Base Images (from Docker Hub)
+
+These images are pulled from Docker Hub's public registry:
+
+- `python:3.11-slim` - Python base for all microservices
+- `node:18-alpine` - Node.js for frontend builder
+- `nginx:1.25-alpine` - Nginx for frontend production
+- `postgres:17-alpine` - PostgreSQL databases
+- `redis:7.4-alpine` - Redis cache
+- `rabbitmq:4.1-management-alpine` - RabbitMQ message broker
+- `busybox:latest` - Utility container
+- `curlimages/curl:latest` - Curl utility
+- `mediagis/nominatim:4.4` - Geolocation service
+
+### Custom Images (bakery/*)
+
+These images are built by the project:
+
+**Infrastructure:**
+- `bakery/gateway`
+- `bakery/dashboard`
+
+**Core Services:**
+- `bakery/auth-service`
+- `bakery/tenant-service`
+
+**Data & Analytics:**
+- `bakery/training-service`
+- `bakery/forecasting-service`
+- `bakery/ai-insights-service`
+
+**Operations:**
+- `bakery/sales-service`
+- `bakery/inventory-service`
+- `bakery/production-service`
+- `bakery/procurement-service`
+- `bakery/distribution-service`
+
+**Supporting:**
+- `bakery/recipes-service`
+- `bakery/suppliers-service`
+- `bakery/pos-service`
+- `bakery/orders-service`
+- `bakery/external-service`
+
+**Platform:**
+- `bakery/notification-service`
+- `bakery/alert-processor`
+- `bakery/orchestrator-service`
+
+**Demo:**
+- `bakery/demo-session-service`
+
+## Pushing Custom Images to Docker Hub
+
+Use the existing tag-and-push script:
+
+```bash
+# Login first
+docker login -u uals
+
+# Tag and push all images
+./scripts/tag-and-push-images.sh
+```
+
+Or manually for a specific image:
+
+```bash
+# Build
+docker build -t bakery/auth-service:latest -f services/auth/Dockerfile .
+
+# Tag for Docker Hub
+docker tag bakery/auth-service:latest uals/bakery-auth-service:latest
+
+# Push
+docker push uals/bakery-auth-service:latest
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Problem: ImagePullBackOff error
+
+Check if the secret exists:
+```bash
+kubectl get secret dockerhub-creds -n bakery-ia
+```
+
+Verify secret is correctly configured:
+```bash
+kubectl get secret dockerhub-creds -n bakery-ia -o yaml
+```
+
+Check pod events:
+```bash
+kubectl describe pod <pod-name> -n bakery-ia
+```
+
+### Problem: Authentication failure
+
+The Docker Hub credentials might be incorrect or expired. Update the secret:
+
+```bash
+# Delete old secret
+kubectl delete secret dockerhub-creds -n bakery-ia
+
+# Create new secret with updated credentials
+kubectl create secret docker-registry dockerhub-creds \
+  --docker-server=docker.io \
+  --docker-username=<your-username> \
+  --docker-password=<your-token> \
+  --docker-email=<your-email> \
+  -n bakery-ia
+```
+
+### Problem: Pod still using old credentials
+
+Restart the pod to pick up the new secret:
+
+```bash
+kubectl rollout restart deployment/<deployment-name> -n bakery-ia
+```
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+1. **Use Docker Hub Access Tokens** (not passwords)
+   - Create at: https://hub.docker.com/settings/security
+   - Set appropriate permissions (Read-only for pulls)
+
+2. **Rotate Credentials Regularly**
+   - Update the secret every 90 days
+   - Use the setup script for consistent updates
+
+3. **Limit Secret Access**
+   - Only grant access to necessary namespaces
+   - Use RBAC to control who can read secrets
+
+4. **Monitor Usage**
+   - Check Docker Hub pull rate limits
+   - Monitor for unauthorized access
+
+## Rate Limits
+
+Docker Hub has rate limits for image pulls:
+
+- **Anonymous users**: 100 pulls per 6 hours per IP
+- **Authenticated users**: 200 pulls per 6 hours
+- **Pro/Team**: Unlimited
+
+Using authentication (imagePullSecrets) ensures you get the authenticated user rate limit.
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+For CI/CD or automated deployments, use these environment variables:
+
+```bash
+export DOCKER_USERNAME=uals
+export DOCKER_PASSWORD=dckr_pat_zzEY5Q58x1S0puraIoKEtbpue3A
+export DOCKER_EMAIL=ualfaro@gmail.com
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. ✅ Docker Hub secret created in all namespaces
+2. ✅ All Kubernetes manifests updated with imagePullSecrets
+3. ✅ Tiltfile configured for optional Docker Hub usage
+4. 🔄 Apply manifests to your cluster
+5. 🔄 Verify pods can pull images successfully

+
+# This will:
+# - Create monitoring users in PostgreSQL
+# - Deploy OpenTelemetry collector for database metrics
+# - Start collecting PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ metrics
+```
+
+### 4. Access SigNoz UI
+
+```bash
+# Via ingress
+open https://monitoring.bakery-ia.local
+
+# Or port-forward
+kubectl port-forward -n signoz svc/signoz-frontend 3301:3301
+open http://localhost:3301

+```
+
+## 🎨 Dashboard Examples
+
+### Service Health Dashboard
+
+Create a dashboard with:
+1. **Request Rate** - `rate(http_requests_total[5m])`
+2. **Error Rate** - `rate(http_requests_total{status_code=~"5.."}[5m])`

+6. **Memory Usage** - `process.memory.utilization`
+
+### Database Dashboard
+
+1. **PostgreSQL Connections** - `postgresql.backends`
+2. **Database Size** - `postgresql.database.size`
+3. **Transaction Rate** - `rate(postgresql.commits[5m])`
+4. **Redis Hit Rate** - `redis.keyspace.hits / (redis.keyspace.hits + redis.keyspace.misses)`
+5. **RabbitMQ Queue Depth** - `rabbitmq.message.current`
+
+## ⚠️ Alerts
+
+### Recommended Alerts
+
+**Application:**
+- High error rate (>5% of requests failing)
+- High latency (P95 > 1s)
+- Service down (no metrics for 5 minutes)
+
+**System:**
+- High CPU (>80% for 5 minutes)
+- High memory (>90%)
+- Disk space low (<10%)
+
+**Database:**
+- PostgreSQL connections near max (>80% of max_connections)
+- Slow queries (>5s)
+- Redis memory high (>80%)
+- RabbitMQ queue buildup (>10k messages)
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### No Data in SigNoz
+
+```bash
+# 1. Check service logs
+kubectl logs -n bakery-ia deployment/auth-service | grep -i otel
+
+# 2. Check SigNoz collector
+kubectl logs -n signoz deployment/signoz-otel-collector
+
+# 3. Test connectivity
+kubectl exec -n bakery-ia deployment/auth-service -- \
+  curl -v http://signoz-otel-collector.signoz.svc.cluster.local:4318
+```
+
+### Database Metrics Missing
+
+```bash
+# Check database monitoring collector
+kubectl logs -n bakery-ia deployment/database-otel-collector
+
+# Verify monitoring user exists
+kubectl exec -n bakery-ia deployment/auth-db -- \
+  psql -U postgres -c "\du otel_monitor"
+```
+
+### Traces Not Correlated with Logs
+
+Ensure `OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER=otlp` is set in service environment variables.
+
+## 🎯 Best Practices
+
+1. **Always use structured logging** - Add context with key-value pairs
+2. **Add custom spans** - For important business operations
+3. **Set appropriate log levels** - INFO for production, DEBUG for dev
+4. **Monitor your monitors** - Alert on collector failures
+5. **Regular retention policy reviews** - Balance cost vs. data retention
+6. **Create service dashboards** - One dashboard per service
+7. **Set up critical alerts first** - Service down, high error rate
+8. **Document custom metrics** - Explain business-specific metrics
+
+## 📊 Performance Impact
+
+**Resource Usage (per service):**
+- CPU: +5-10% (instrumentation overhead)
+- Memory: +50-100MB (SDK and buffers)
+- Network: Minimal (batched export every 60s)
+
+**Latency Impact:**
+- Per request: <1ms (async instrumentation)
+- No impact on user-facing latency
+
+**Storage (SigNoz):**
+- Traces: ~1GB per million requests
+- Metrics: ~100MB per service per day
+- Logs: Varies by log volume
+
+## 🔐 Security Considerations
+
+1. **Use dedicated monitoring users** - Never use app credentials
+2. **Limit collector permissions** - Read-only access to databases
+3. **Secure OTLP endpoints** - Use TLS in production
+4. **Sanitize sensitive data** - Don't log passwords, tokens
+5. **Network policies** - Restrict collector network access
+6. **RBAC** - Limit SigNoz UI access per team
+
+## 🚀 Next Steps
+
+1. **Deploy to production** - Update production SigNoz config
+2. **Create team dashboards** - Per-service and system-wide views
+3. **Set up alerts** - Start with critical service health alerts
+4. **Train team** - SigNoz UI usage, query language
+5. **Document runbooks** - How to respond to alerts
+6. **Optimize retention** - Based on actual data volume
+7. **Add custom metrics** - Business-specific KPIs

+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Kubernetes cluster running (Kind/Minikube/Production)
+- Helm 3.x installed
+- kubectl configured
+
+## Step 1: Deploy SigNoz
+
+```bash
+# Add Helm repository
+helm repo add signoz https://charts.signoz.io
+helm repo update
+
+# Create namespace
+kubectl create namespace signoz
+
+# Install SigNoz
+helm install signoz signoz/signoz \
+  -n signoz \
+  -f infrastructure/helm/signoz-values-dev.yaml
+
+# Wait for pods to be ready (2-3 minutes)
+kubectl wait --for=condition=ready pod -l app=signoz -n signoz --timeout=300s
+```
+
+## Step 2: Configure Services
+
+Each service needs OpenTelemetry environment variables. The auth-service is already configured as an example.
+
+### Quick Configuration (for remaining services)
+
+Add these environment variables to each service deployment:
+
+```yaml
+env:
+  # OpenTelemetry Collector endpoint
+  - name: OTEL_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT
+    value: "http://signoz-otel-collector.signoz.svc.cluster.local:4318"
+  - name: OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT
+    value: "http://signoz-otel-collector.signoz.svc.cluster.local:4318"
+  - name: OTEL_SERVICE_NAME
+    value: "your-service-name"  # e.g., "inventory-service"
+
+  # Enable tracing
+  - name: ENABLE_TRACING
+    value: "true"
+
+  # Enable logs export
+  - name: OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER
+    value: "otlp"
+
+  # Enable metrics export (includes system metrics)
+  - name: ENABLE_OTEL_METRICS
+    value: "true"
+  - name: ENABLE_SYSTEM_METRICS
+    value: "true"
+```
+
+### Using the Configuration Script
+
+```bash
+# Generate configuration patches for all services
+./infrastructure/kubernetes/add-monitoring-config.sh
+
+# This creates /tmp/*-otel-patch.yaml files
+# Review and manually add to each service deployment
+```
+
+## Step 3: Deploy Updated Services
+
+```bash
+# Apply updated configurations
+kubectl apply -k infrastructure/kubernetes/overlays/dev/
+
+# Or restart services to pick up new env vars
+kubectl rollout restart deployment -n bakery-ia
+
+# Wait for rollout
+kubectl rollout status deployment -n bakery-ia --timeout=5m
+```
+
+## Step 4: Access SigNoz UI
+
+### Via Ingress
+
+```bash
+# Add to /etc/hosts if needed
+echo "127.0.0.1 monitoring.bakery-ia.local" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
+
+# Access UI
+open https://monitoring.bakery-ia.local
+```
+
+### Via Port Forward
+
+```bash
+kubectl port-forward -n signoz svc/signoz-frontend 3301:3301
+open http://localhost:3301
+```
+
+## Step 5: Explore Your Data
+
+### Traces
+
+1. Go to **Services** tab
+2. See all your services listed
+3. Click on a service → View traces
+4. Click on a trace → See detailed span tree with timing
+
+### Metrics
+
+**HTTP Metrics** (automatically collected):
+- `http_requests_total` - Total requests by method, endpoint, status
+- `http_request_duration_seconds` - Request latency
+- `active_requests` - Current active HTTP requests
+
+**System Metrics** (automatically collected per service):
+- `process.cpu.utilization` - Process CPU usage %
+- `process.memory.usage` - Process memory in bytes
+- `process.memory.utilization` - Process memory %
+- `process.threads.count` - Number of threads
+- `system.cpu.utilization` - System-wide CPU %
+- `system.memory.usage` - System memory usage
+- `system.disk.io.read` - Disk bytes read
+- `system.disk.io.write` - Disk bytes written
+- `system.network.io.sent` - Network bytes sent
+- `system.network.io.received` - Network bytes received
+
+**Custom Business Metrics** (if configured):
+- User registrations
+- Orders created
+- Login attempts
+- etc.
+
+### Logs
+
+1. Go to **Logs** tab
+2. Filter by service: `service_name="auth-service"`
+3. Search for specific messages
+4. See structured fields (user_id, tenant_id, etc.)
+
+### Trace-Log Correlation
+
+1. Find a trace in **Traces** tab
+2. Note the `trace_id`
+3. Go to **Logs** tab
+4. Filter: `trace_id="<the-trace-id>"`
+5. See all logs for that specific request!
+
+## Verification Commands
+
+```bash
+# Check if services are sending telemetry
+kubectl logs -n bakery-ia deployment/auth-service | grep -i "telemetry\|otel"
+
+# Check SigNoz collector is receiving data
+kubectl logs -n signoz deployment/signoz-otel-collector | tail -50
+
+# Test connectivity to collector
+kubectl exec -n bakery-ia deployment/auth-service -- \
+  curl -v http://signoz-otel-collector.signoz.svc.cluster.local:4318
+```
+
+## Common Issues
+
+### No data in SigNoz
+
+```bash
+# 1. Verify environment variables are set
+kubectl get deployment auth-service -n bakery-ia -o yaml | grep OTEL
+
+# 2. Check collector logs
+kubectl logs -n signoz deployment/signoz-otel-collector
+
+# 3. Restart service
+kubectl rollout restart deployment/auth-service -n bakery-ia
+```
+
+### Services not appearing
+
+```bash
+# Check network connectivity
+kubectl exec -n bakery-ia deployment/auth-service -- \
+  curl http://signoz-otel-collector.signoz.svc.cluster.local:4318
+
+# Should return: connection successful (not connection refused)
+```

+
+## What Makes This Different
+
+**Pure OpenTelemetry** - No Prometheus involved:
+- ✅ All metrics pushed via OTLP (not scraped)
+- ✅ Automatic system metrics collection (CPU, memory, disk, network)
+- ✅ Unified data model for all telemetry
+- ✅ Native trace-metric-log correlation
+- ✅ Lower resource usage (no scraping overhead)
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- **Create Dashboards** - Build custom views for your metrics
+- **Set Up Alerts** - Configure alerts for errors, latency, resource usage
+- **Explore System Metrics** - Monitor CPU, memory per service
+- **Query Logs** - Use powerful log query language
+- **Correlate Everything** - Jump from traces → logs → metrics

+
+### Key Components
+
+1. **Services**: Generate telemetry data using OpenTelemetry SDK
+2. **OpenTelemetry Collector**: Receives, processes, and exports telemetry
+3. **ClickHouse**: Stores traces, metrics, and logs
+4. **SigNoz UI**: Query and visualize all telemetry data
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Kubernetes cluster (Kind, Minikube, or production cluster)
+- Helm 3.x installed
+- kubectl configured
+- At least 4GB RAM available for SigNoz components
+
+## SigNoz Deployment
+
+### 1. Add SigNoz Helm Repository
+
+```bash
+helm repo add signoz https://charts.signoz.io
+helm repo update
+```
+
+### 2. Create Namespace
+
+```bash
+kubectl create namespace signoz
+```
+
+### 3. Deploy SigNoz
+
+```bash
+# For development environment
+helm install signoz signoz/signoz \
+  -n signoz \
+  -f infrastructure/helm/signoz-values-dev.yaml
+
+# For production environment
+helm install signoz signoz/signoz \
+  -n signoz \
+  -f infrastructure/helm/signoz-values-prod.yaml
+```
+
+### 4. Verify Deployment
+
+```bash
+# Check all pods are running
+kubectl get pods -n signoz
+
+# Expected output:
+# signoz-alertmanager-0
+# signoz-clickhouse-0
+# signoz-frontend-*
+# signoz-otel-collector-*
+# signoz-query-service-*
+
+# Check services
+kubectl get svc -n signoz
+```
+
+## Service Configuration
+
+Each microservice needs to be configured to send telemetry to SigNoz.
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+Add these environment variables to your service deployments:
+
+```yaml
+env:
+  # OpenTelemetry Collector endpoint
+  - name: OTEL_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT
+    value: "http://signoz-otel-collector.signoz.svc.cluster.local:4318"
+  - name: OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT
+    value: "http://signoz-otel-collector.signoz.svc.cluster.local:4318"
+
+  # Service identification
+  - name: OTEL_SERVICE_NAME
+    value: "your-service-name"  # e.g., "auth-service"
+
+  # Enable tracing
+  - name: ENABLE_TRACING
+    value: "true"
+
+  # Enable logs export
+  - name: OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER
+    value: "otlp"
+  - name: OTEL_PYTHON_LOGGING_AUTO_INSTRUMENTATION_ENABLED
+    value: "true"
+
+  # Enable metrics export (optional, default: true)
+  - name: ENABLE_OTEL_METRICS
+    value: "true"
+```
+
+### Prometheus Annotations
+
+Add these annotations to enable Prometheus metrics scraping:
+
+```yaml
+metadata:
+  annotations:
+    prometheus.io/scrape: "true"
+    prometheus.io/port: "8000"
+    prometheus.io/path: "/metrics"
+```
+
+### Complete Example
+
+See [infrastructure/kubernetes/base/components/auth/auth-service.yaml](../infrastructure/kubernetes/base/components/auth/auth-service.yaml) for a complete example.
+
+### Automated Configuration Script
+
+Use the provided script to add monitoring configuration to all services:
+
+```bash
+# Run from project root
+./infrastructure/kubernetes/add-monitoring-config.sh
+```
+
+## Data Flow
+
+### 1. Traces
+
+**Automatic Instrumentation:**
+
+```python
+# In your service's main.py
+from shared.service_base import StandardFastAPIService
+
+service = AuthService()  # Extends StandardFastAPIService
+app = service.create_app()
+
+# Tracing is automatically enabled if ENABLE_TRACING=true
+# All FastAPI endpoints, HTTP clients, Redis, PostgreSQL are auto-instrumented
+```
+
+**Manual Instrumentation:**
+
+```python
+from shared.monitoring.tracing import add_trace_attributes, add_trace_event
+
+# Add custom attributes to current span
+add_trace_attributes(
+    user_id="123",
+    tenant_id="abc",
+    operation="user_registration"
+)
+
+# Add events for important operations
+add_trace_event("user_authenticated", user_id="123", method="jwt")
+```
+
+### 2. Metrics
+
+**Dual Export Strategy:**
+
+Services export metrics in two ways:
+1. **Prometheus format** at `/metrics` endpoint (scraped by SigNoz)
+2. **OTLP push** directly to SigNoz collector (real-time)
+
+**Built-in Metrics:**
+
+```python
+# Automatically collected by BaseFastAPIService:
+# - http_requests_total
+# - http_request_duration_seconds
+# - active_connections
+```
+
+**Custom Metrics:**
+
+```python
+# Define in your service
+custom_metrics = {
+    "user_registrations": {
+        "type": "counter",
+        "description": "Total user registrations",
+        "labels": ["status"]
+    },
+    "login_duration_seconds": {
+        "type": "histogram",
+        "description": "Login request duration"
+    }
+}
+
+service = AuthService(custom_metrics=custom_metrics)
+
+# Use in your code
+service.metrics_collector.increment_counter(
+    "user_registrations",
+    labels={"status": "success"}
+)
+```
+
+### 3. Logs
+
+**Automatic Export:**
+
+```python
+# Logs are automatically exported if OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER=otlp
+import logging
+logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
+
+# This will appear in SigNoz
+logger.info("User logged in", extra={"user_id": "123", "tenant_id": "abc"})
+```
+
+**Structured Logging with Context:**
+
+```python
+from shared.monitoring.logs_exporter import add_log_context
+
+# Add context that persists across log calls
+log_ctx = add_log_context(
+    request_id="req_123",
+    user_id="user_456",
+    tenant_id="tenant_789"
+)
+
+# All subsequent logs include this context
+log_ctx.info("Processing order")  # Includes request_id, user_id, tenant_id
+```
+
+**Trace Correlation:**
+
+```python
+from shared.monitoring.logs_exporter import get_current_trace_context
+
+# Get trace context for correlation
+trace_ctx = get_current_trace_context()
+logger.info("Processing request", extra=trace_ctx)
+# Logs now include trace_id and span_id for correlation
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+### 1. Check Service Health
+
+```bash
+# Check that services are exporting telemetry
+kubectl logs -n bakery-ia deployment/auth-service | grep -i "telemetry\|otel\|signoz"
+
+# Expected output includes:
+# - "Distributed tracing configured"
+# - "OpenTelemetry logs export configured"
+# - "OpenTelemetry metrics export configured"
+```
+
+### 2. Access SigNoz UI
+
+```bash
+# Port-forward (for local development)
+kubectl port-forward -n signoz svc/signoz-frontend 3301:3301
+
+# Or via Ingress
+open https://monitoring.bakery-ia.local
+```
+
+### 3. Verify Data Ingestion
+
+**Traces:**
+1. Go to SigNoz UI → Traces
+2. You should see traces from your services
+3. Click on a trace to see the full span tree
+
+**Metrics:**
+1. Go to SigNoz UI → Metrics
+2. Query: `http_requests_total`
+3. Filter by service: `service="auth-service"`
+
+**Logs:**
+1. Go to SigNoz UI → Logs
+2. Filter by service: `service_name="auth-service"`
+3. Search for specific log messages
+
+### 4. Test Trace-Log Correlation
+
+1. Find a trace in SigNoz UI
+2. Copy the `trace_id`
+3. Go to Logs tab
+4. Search: `trace_id="<your-trace-id>"`
+5. You should see all logs for that trace
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No Data in SigNoz
+
+**1. Check OpenTelemetry Collector:**
+
+```bash
+# Check collector logs
+kubectl logs -n signoz deployment/signoz-otel-collector
+
+# Should see:
+# - "Receiver is starting"
+# - "Exporter is starting"
+# - No error messages
+```
+
+**2. Check Service Configuration:**
+
+```bash
+# Verify environment variables
+kubectl get deployment auth-service -n bakery-ia -o yaml | grep -A 20 "env:"
+
+# Verify annotations
+kubectl get deployment auth-service -n bakery-ia -o yaml | grep -A 5 "annotations:"
+```
+
+**3. Check Network Connectivity:**
+
+```bash
+# Test from service pod
+kubectl exec -n bakery-ia deployment/auth-service -- \
+  curl -v http://signoz-otel-collector.signoz.svc.cluster.local:4318/v1/traces
+
+# Should return: 405 Method Not Allowed (POST required)
+# If connection refused, check network policies
+```
+
+### Traces Not Appearing
+
+**Check instrumentation:**
+
+```python
+# Verify tracing is enabled
+import os
+print(os.getenv("ENABLE_TRACING"))  # Should be "true"
+print(os.getenv("OTEL_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT"))  # Should be set
+```
+
+**Check trace sampling:**
+
+```bash
+# Verify sampling rate (default 100%)
+kubectl logs -n bakery-ia deployment/auth-service | grep "sampling"
+```
+
+### Metrics Not Appearing
+
+**1. Verify Prometheus annotations:**
+
+```bash
+kubectl get pods -n bakery-ia -o yaml | grep "prometheus.io"
+```
+
+**2. Test metrics endpoint:**
+
+```bash
+# Port-forward service
+kubectl port-forward -n bakery-ia deployment/auth-service 8000:8000
+
+# Test endpoint
+curl http://localhost:8000/metrics
+
+# Should return Prometheus format metrics
+```
+
+**3. Check SigNoz scrape configuration:**
+
+```bash
+# Check collector config
+kubectl get configmap -n signoz signoz-otel-collector -o yaml | grep -A 30 "prometheus:"
+```
+
+### Logs Not Appearing
+
+**1. Verify log export is enabled:**
+
+```bash
+kubectl get deployment auth-service -n bakery-ia -o yaml | grep OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER
+# Should return: OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER=otlp
+```
+
+**2. Check log format:**
+
+```bash
+# Logs should be JSON formatted
+kubectl logs -n bakery-ia deployment/auth-service | head -5
+```
+
+**3. Verify OTLP endpoint:**
+
+```bash
+# Test logs endpoint
+kubectl exec -n bakery-ia deployment/auth-service -- \
+  curl -X POST http://signoz-otel-collector.signoz.svc.cluster.local:4318/v1/logs \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"resourceLogs":[]}'
+
+# Should return 200 OK or 400 Bad Request (not connection error)
+```
+
+## Performance Tuning
+
+### For Development
+
+The default configuration is optimized for local development with minimal resources.
+
+### For Production
+
+Update the following in `signoz-values-prod.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+# Increase collector resources
+otelCollector:
+  resources:
+    requests:
+      cpu: 500m
+      memory: 1Gi
+    limits:
+      cpu: 2000m
+      memory: 2Gi
+
+# Increase batch sizes
+config:
+  processors:
+    batch:
+      timeout: 10s
+      send_batch_size: 10000  # Increased from 1024
+
+# Add more replicas
+replicaCount: 2
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use Structured Logging**: Always use key-value pairs for better querying
+2. **Add Context**: Include user_id, tenant_id, request_id in logs
+3. **Trace Business Operations**: Add custom spans for important operations
+4. **Monitor Collector Health**: Set up alerts for collector errors
+5. **Retention Policy**: Configure ClickHouse retention based on needs

-
-## 📊 Components
-
-### Core Monitoring
-- **Prometheus v3.0.1** - Time-series metrics database (2 replicas with HA)
-- **Grafana v12.3.0** - Visualization and dashboarding
-- **AlertManager v0.27.0** - Alert routing and notification (3 replicas with HA)
-
-### Distributed Tracing
-- **Jaeger v1.51** - Distributed tracing with persistent storage
-
-### Exporters
-- **PostgreSQL Exporter v0.15.0** - Database metrics and health
-- **Node Exporter v1.7.0** - Infrastructure and OS-level metrics (DaemonSet)
-
-## 🚀 Deployment
-
-### Prerequisites
-1. Kubernetes cluster (v1.24+)
-2. kubectl configured
-3. kustomize (v4.0+) or kubectl with kustomize support
-4. Storage class available for PersistentVolumeClaims
-
-### Production Deployment
-
-```bash
-# 1. Update secrets with production values
-kubectl create secret generic grafana-admin \
-  --from-literal=admin-user=admin \
-  --from-literal=admin-password=$(openssl rand -base64 32) \
-  --namespace monitoring --dry-run=client -o yaml > secrets.yaml
-
-# 2. Update AlertManager SMTP credentials
-kubectl create secret generic alertmanager-secrets \
-  --from-literal=smtp-host="smtp.gmail.com:587" \
-  --from-literal=smtp-username="alerts@yourdomain.com" \
-  --from-literal=smtp-password="YOUR_SMTP_PASSWORD" \
-  --from-literal=smtp-from="alerts@yourdomain.com" \
-  --from-literal=slack-webhook-url="https://hooks.slack.com/services/YOUR/WEBHOOK/URL" \
-  --namespace monitoring --dry-run=client -o yaml >> secrets.yaml
-
-# 3. Update PostgreSQL exporter connection string
-kubectl create secret generic postgres-exporter \

-# Then apply:
-kubectl apply -k infrastructure/kubernetes/overlays/dev
-```
-
-## 🔐 Security Configuration
-
-### Important Security Notes
-
-⚠️ **NEVER commit real secrets to Git!**
-
-The `secrets.yaml` file contains placeholder values. In production, use one of:
-
-1. **Sealed Secrets** (Recommended)
-   ```bash
-   kubectl apply -f https://github.com/bitnami-labs/sealed-secrets/releases/download/v0.24.0/controller.yaml
-   kubeseal --format=yaml < secrets.yaml > sealed-secrets.yaml
-   ```
-
-2. **External Secrets Operator**
-   ```bash
-   helm install external-secrets external-secrets/external-secrets -n external-secrets
-   ```
-
-3. **Cloud Provider Secrets**
-   - AWS Secrets Manager
-   - GCP Secret Manager
-   - Azure Key Vault
-
-### Grafana Admin Password
-
-Change the default password immediately:
-```bash
-# Generate strong password
-NEW_PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -base64 32)
-
-# Update secret
-kubectl patch secret grafana-admin -n monitoring \
-  -p="{\"data\":{\"admin-password\":\"$(echo -n $NEW_PASSWORD | base64)\"}}"
-
-# Restart Grafana
-kubectl rollout restart deployment grafana -n monitoring
-```

-## 🔄 High Availability
-
-### Prometheus HA
-
-- 2 replicas in StatefulSet
-- Each has independent storage (volumeClaimTemplates)
-- Anti-affinity to spread across nodes
-- Both scrape the same targets independently
-- Use Thanos for long-term storage and global query view (future enhancement)
-
-### AlertManager HA
-
-- 3 replicas in StatefulSet
-- Clustered mode (gossip protocol)
-- Automatic leader election
-- Alert deduplication across instances
-- Anti-affinity to spread across nodes
-
-### PodDisruptionBudgets
-
-Ensure minimum availability during:
-- Node maintenance
-- Cluster upgrades
-- Rolling updates
-
-```yaml
-Prometheus: minAvailable=1 (out of 2)
-AlertManager: minAvailable=2 (out of 3)
-Grafana: minAvailable=1 (out of 1)
-```
-

-## 🔗 Distributed Tracing
-
-### Jaeger Configuration
-
-Services automatically send traces when `JAEGER_ENABLED=true`:
-
-```yaml
-# In prod-configmap.yaml
-JAEGER_ENABLED: "true"
-JAEGER_AGENT_HOST: "jaeger-agent.monitoring.svc.cluster.local"
-JAEGER_AGENT_PORT: "6831"
-```
-
-### Viewing Traces
-
-1. Access Jaeger UI: https://monitoring.yourdomain.com/jaeger
-2. Select service from dropdown
-3. Click "Find Traces"
-4. Explore trace details, spans, and timing
-
-### Trace Sampling
-
-Current sampling: 100% (all traces collected)
-
-For high-traffic production:
-```yaml
-# Adjust in shared/monitoring/tracing.py
-JAEGER_SAMPLE_RATE: "0.1"  # 10% of traces
-```

-### Backup and Recovery
-
-**Prometheus Data:**
-```bash
-# Backup Prometheus data
-kubectl exec -n monitoring prometheus-0 -- tar czf /tmp/prometheus-backup.tar.gz /prometheus
-kubectl cp monitoring/prometheus-0:/tmp/prometheus-backup.tar.gz ./prometheus-backup.tar.gz
-
-# Restore (stop Prometheus first)
-kubectl cp ./prometheus-backup.tar.gz monitoring/prometheus-0:/tmp/
-kubectl exec -n monitoring prometheus-0 -- tar xzf /tmp/prometheus-backup.tar.gz -C /
-```
-
-**Grafana Dashboards:**
-```bash
-# Export all dashboards via API
-curl -u admin:password http://localhost:3000/api/search | \
-  jq -r '.[] | .uid' | \
-  xargs -I{} curl -u admin:password http://localhost:3000/api/dashboards/uid/{} > dashboards-backup.json
-```
