## Database Inventory

### PostgreSQL Databases (14 instances)

All running PostgreSQL 17-alpine with TLS encryption enabled:

| Database | Service | Purpose |
|----------|---------|---------|
| auth-db | Authentication | User authentication and authorization |
| tenant-db | Tenant | Multi-tenancy management |
| training-db | Training | ML model training data |
| forecasting-db | Forecasting | Demand forecasting |
| sales-db | Sales | Sales transactions |
| external-db | External | External API data |
| notification-db | Notification | Notifications and alerts |
| inventory-db | Inventory | Inventory management |
| recipes-db | Recipes | Recipe data |
| suppliers-db | Suppliers | Supplier information |
| pos-db | POS | Point of Sale integrations |
| orders-db | Orders | Order management |
| production-db | Production | Production batches |
| alert-processor-db | Alert Processor | Alert processing |

### Other Datastores

- **Redis:** Shared caching and session storage with TLS encryption
- **RabbitMQ:** Message broker for inter-service communication

---

## Security Implementation

### 1. Authentication and Access Control

#### Service Isolation
- Each service has its own dedicated database with unique credentials
- Prevents cross-service data access
- Limits blast radius of credential compromise

#### Password Security
- **Algorithm:** PostgreSQL uses scram-sha-256 authentication (modern, secure)
- **Password Strength:** 32-character cryptographically secure passwords
- **Generation:** Created using OpenSSL: `openssl rand -base64 32`
- **Rotation Policy:** Recommended every 90 days

#### Network Isolation
- All databases run on internal Kubernetes network
- No direct external exposure
- ClusterIP services (internal only)
- Cannot be accessed from outside the cluster

### 2. Encryption in Transit (TLS/SSL)

All database connections enforce TLS 1.2+ encryption.

#### PostgreSQL TLS Configuration

**Server Configuration:**
```yaml
# PostgreSQL SSL Settings (postgresql.conf)
ssl = on
ssl_cert_file = '/tls/server-cert.pem'
ssl_key_file = '/tls/server-key.pem'
ssl_ca_file = '/tls/ca-cert.pem'
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = on
ssl_min_protocol_version = 'TLSv1.2'
```

**Client Connection String:**
```python
# Automatically enforced by DatabaseManager
"postgresql+asyncpg://user:pass@host:5432/db?ssl=require"
```

**Certificate Details:**
- **Algorithm:** RSA 4096-bit
- **Signature:** SHA-256
- **Validity:** 3 years (expires October 2028)
- **CA Validity:** 10 years (expires 2035)

#### Redis TLS Configuration

**Server Configuration:**
```bash
redis-server \
  --requirepass $REDIS_PASSWORD \
  --tls-port 6379 \
  --port 0 \
  --tls-cert-file /tls/redis-cert.pem \
  --tls-key-file /tls/redis-key.pem \
  --tls-ca-cert-file /tls/ca-cert.pem \
  --tls-auth-clients no
```

**Client Connection String:**
```python
"rediss://:password@redis-service:6379?ssl_cert_reqs=none"
```

### 3. Data Persistence

#### PersistentVolumeClaims (PVCs)

All PostgreSQL databases use PVCs to prevent data loss:

```yaml
# Example PVC configuration
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: auth-db-pvc
  namespace: bakery-ia
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 2Gi
```

**Benefits:**
- Data persists across pod restarts
- Prevents catastrophic data loss from ephemeral storage
- Enables backup and restore operations
- Supports volume snapshots

#### Redis Persistence

Redis configured with:
- **AOF (Append Only File):** enabled
- **RDB snapshots:** periodic
- **PersistentVolumeClaim:** for data directory

---

## Data Protection

### 1. Encryption at Rest

#### Kubernetes Secrets Encryption

All secrets encrypted at rest with AES-256:

```yaml
# Encryption configuration
apiVersion: apiserver.config.k8s.io/v1
kind: EncryptionConfiguration
resources:
  - resources:
      - secrets
    providers:
      - aescbc:
          keys:
            - name: key1
              secret: <base64-encoded-32-byte-key>
      - identity: {}
```

#### PostgreSQL pgcrypto Extension

Available for column-level encryption:

```sql
-- Enable extension
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS "pgcrypto";

-- Encrypt sensitive data
INSERT INTO users (name, ssn_encrypted)
VALUES (
  'John Doe',
  pgp_sym_encrypt('123-45-6789', 'encryption_key')
);

-- Decrypt data
SELECT name, pgp_sym_decrypt(ssn_encrypted::bytea, 'encryption_key')
FROM users;
```

**Available Functions:**
- `pgp_sym_encrypt()` - Symmetric encryption
- `pgp_pub_encrypt()` - Public key encryption
- `gen_salt()` - Password hashing
- `digest()` - Hash functions

### 2. Backup Strategy

#### Automated Encrypted Backups

**Script Location:** `/scripts/encrypted-backup.sh`

**Features:**
- Backs up all 14 PostgreSQL databases
- Uses `pg_dump` for data export
- Compresses with `gzip` for space efficiency
- Encrypts with GPG for security
- Output format: `<db>_<name>_<timestamp>.sql.gz.gpg`

**Usage:**
```bash
# Create encrypted backup
./scripts/encrypted-backup.sh

# Decrypt and restore
gpg --decrypt backup_file.sql.gz.gpg | gunzip | psql -U user -d database
```

**Recommended Schedule:**
- **Daily backups:** Retain 30 days
- **Weekly backups:** Retain 90 days
- **Monthly backups:** Retain 1 year

### 3. Audit Logging

PostgreSQL logging configuration includes:

```yaml
# Log all connections and disconnections
log_connections = on
log_disconnections = on

# Log all SQL statements
log_statement = 'all'

# Log query duration
log_duration = on
log_min_duration_statement = 1000  # Log queries > 1 second

# Log detail
log_line_prefix = '%t [%p]: [%l-1] user=%u,db=%d,app=%a,client=%h '
```

**Log Rotation:**
- Daily or 100MB size limit
- 7-day retention minimum
- Ship to centralized logging (recommended)

## Monitoring and Maintenance

### Certificate Management

#### Certificate Expiry Monitoring

**PostgreSQL and Redis Certificates Expire:** October 17, 2028

**Renewal Process:**
```bash
# 1. Regenerate certificates (90 days before expiry)
cd infrastructure/tls && ./generate-certificates.sh

# 2. Update Kubernetes secrets
kubectl delete secret postgres-tls redis-tls -n bakery-ia
kubectl apply -f infrastructure/kubernetes/base/secrets/postgres-tls-secret.yaml
kubectl apply -f infrastructure/kubernetes/base/secrets/redis-tls-secret.yaml

# 3. Restart database pods (automatic)
kubectl rollout restart deployment -l app.kubernetes.io/component=database -n bakery-ia
```

### Password Rotation

**Recommended:** Every 90 days

**Process:**
```bash
# 1. Generate new passwords
./scripts/generate-passwords.sh > new-passwords.txt

# 2. Update .env file
./scripts/update-env-passwords.sh

# 3. Update Kubernetes secrets
./scripts/update-k8s-secrets.sh

# 4. Apply secrets
kubectl apply -f infrastructure/kubernetes/base/secrets.yaml

# 5. Restart databases and services
kubectl rollout restart deployment -n bakery-ia
```

### Health Checks

#### Verify PostgreSQL SSL
```bash
# Check SSL is enabled
kubectl exec -n bakery-ia <postgres-pod> -- sh -c \
  'psql -U $POSTGRES_USER -d $POSTGRES_DB -c "SHOW ssl;"'
# Expected: on

# Check certificate permissions
kubectl exec -n bakery-ia <postgres-pod> -- ls -la /tls/
# Expected: server-key.pem has 600 permissions
```

#### Verify Redis TLS
```bash
# Test Redis connection with TLS
kubectl exec -n bakery-ia <redis-pod> -- redis-cli \
  --tls \
  --cert /tls/redis-cert.pem \
  --key /tls/redis-key.pem \
  --cacert /tls/ca-cert.pem \
  -a $REDIS_PASSWORD \
  ping
# Expected: PONG
```

#### Verify PVCs
```bash
# Check all PVCs are bound
kubectl get pvc -n bakery-ia
# Expected: All PVCs in "Bound" state
```

### Audit Log Review

```bash
# View PostgreSQL logs
kubectl logs -n bakery-ia <db-pod>

# Search for failed connections
kubectl logs -n bakery-ia <db-pod> | grep -i "authentication failed"

# Search for long-running queries
kubectl logs -n bakery-ia <db-pod> | grep -i "duration:"
```

## Troubleshooting

### PostgreSQL Connection Issues

#### Services Can't Connect After Deployment

**Symptom:** Services show SSL/TLS errors in logs

**Solution:**
```bash
# Restart all services to pick up new TLS configuration
kubectl rollout restart deployment -n bakery-ia \
  --selector='app.kubernetes.io/component=service'
```

#### "SSL not supported" Error

**Symptom:** `PostgreSQL server rejected SSL upgrade`

**Solution:**
```bash
# Check if TLS secret exists
kubectl get secret postgres-tls -n bakery-ia

# Check if mounted in pod
kubectl describe pod <db-pod> -n bakery-ia | grep -A 5 "tls-certs"

# Restart database pod
kubectl delete pod <db-pod> -n bakery-ia
```

#### Certificate Permission Denied

**Symptom:** `FATAL: could not load server certificate file`

**Solution:**
```bash
# Check init container logs
kubectl logs -n bakery-ia <pod> -c fix-tls-permissions

# Verify certificate permissions
kubectl exec -n bakery-ia <pod> -- ls -la /tls/
# server-key.pem should have 600 permissions
```

### Redis Connection Issues

#### Connection Timeout

**Symptom:** `SSL handshake is taking longer than 60.0 seconds`

**Solution:**
```bash
# Check Redis logs
kubectl logs -n bakery-ia <redis-pod>

# Test Redis directly
kubectl exec -n bakery-ia <redis-pod> -- redis-cli \
  --tls --cert /tls/redis-cert.pem \
  --key /tls/redis-key.pem \
  --cacert /tls/ca-cert.pem \
  PING
```

### Data Persistence Issues

#### PVC Not Binding

**Symptom:** PVC stuck in "Pending" state

**Solution:**
```bash
# Check PVC status
kubectl describe pvc <pvc-name> -n bakery-ia

# Check storage class
kubectl get storageclass

# For Kind, ensure local-path provisioner is running
kubectl get pods -n local-path-storage
```
