📋 Pre-Deployment Checklist

1. Environment Setup

• Backend Environment Variables

  • Ensure Redis is configured and accessible
  • Verify database migrations are up to date
  • Check that tenant service has access to usage data

• Frontend Environment Variables

  • Verify API client base URL is correct
  • Check that translation files are loaded properly
  • Ensure React Query is configured

2. Database & Redis

• Run Database Migrations (if any)

  # From services/tenant directory
  alembic upgrade head
  

• Verify Redis Connection

  # Test Redis connection
  redis-cli ping
  # Should return: PONG
  

• Test Usage Data Storage

  • Verify that usage metrics are being tracked
  • Check that Redis keys are being created with proper TTL (60 days)

3. Backend Deployment

• Register New API Endpoints

  In services/tenant/app/main.py, add usage forecast router:

  from app.api.usage_forecast import router as usage_forecast_router
  
  # Register router
  app.include_router(
      usage_forecast_router,
      tags=["usage-forecast"]
  )
  

• Deploy Backend Services

  # Restart tenant service
  docker-compose restart tenant-service
  # or with kubernetes
  kubectl rollout restart deployment/tenant-service
  

• Verify Endpoints

  # Test usage forecast endpoint
  curl -X GET "http://your-api/usage-forecast?tenant_id=YOUR_TENANT_ID" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
  
  # Should return forecast data with metrics array
  

4. Frontend Deployment

• Install Dependencies (if needed)

  cd frontend
  npm install
  

• Build Frontend

  npm run build
  

• Run Tests (if you have them)

  npm run test
  

• Deploy Frontend

  # Deploy to your hosting platform
  # Example for Vercel:
  vercel --prod
  
  # Example for Docker:
  docker build -t bakery-ia-frontend .
  docker push your-registry/bakery-ia-frontend:latest
  kubectl rollout restart deployment/frontend
  

5. Translation Verification

• Test All Languages

  • English (en): Navigate to subscription page, switch language
  • Spanish (es): Verify all feature names are translated
  • Basque (eu): Check special characters display correctly

• Verify Missing Keys

  # Check for missing translation keys in browser console
  # Look for warnings like: "Missing translation key: features.xyz"
  

6. Analytics Integration

• Choose Analytics Provider

  • Segment (recommended for multi-provider)
  • Mixpanel (recommended for funnel analysis)
  • Google Analytics 4 (recommended for general tracking)

• Update Analytics Configuration

  In frontend/src/utils/subscriptionAnalytics.ts, replace the track function:

  // Example for Segment
  const track = (event: string, properties: Record<string, any> = {}) => {
    if (typeof window !== 'undefined' && window.analytics) {
      window.analytics.track(event, {
        ...properties,
        timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
        page_path: window.location.pathname
      });
    }
  
    // Keep local storage for debugging
    const events = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('subscription_events') || '[]');
    events.push({ event, properties, timestamp: new Date().toISOString() });
    localStorage.setItem('subscription_events', JSON.stringify(events.slice(-100)));
  };
  
  // Example for Mixpanel
  const track = (event: string, properties: Record<string, any> = {}) => {
    if (typeof window !== 'undefined' && window.mixpanel) {
      window.mixpanel.track(event, {
        ...properties,
        timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
        page_path: window.location.pathname
      });
    }
  
    // Keep local storage for debugging
    const events = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('subscription_events') || '[]');
    events.push({ event, properties, timestamp: new Date().toISOString() });
    localStorage.setItem('subscription_events', JSON.stringify(events.slice(-100)));
  };
  
  // Example for Google Analytics 4
  const track = (event: string, properties: Record<string, any> = {}) => {
    if (typeof window !== 'undefined' && window.gtag) {
      window.gtag('event', event, {
        ...properties,
        timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
        page_path: window.location.pathname
      });
    }
  
    // Keep local storage for debugging
    const events = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('subscription_events') || '[]');
    events.push({ event, properties, timestamp: new Date().toISOString() });
    localStorage.setItem('subscription_events', JSON.stringify(events.slice(-100)));
  };
  

• Test Event Tracking

  • Open browser console → Application → Local Storage
  • Look for subscription_events key
  • Verify events are being captured
  • Check your analytics dashboard for real-time events

7. Cron Jobs (Optional but Recommended)

Set up daily cron job to track usage snapshots for trend analysis.

• Create Cron Script

  File: scripts/track_daily_usage.py

  #!/usr/bin/env python3
  """
  Daily usage tracker cron job
  Tracks usage snapshots for all tenants to enable trend forecasting
  """
  import asyncio
  from datetime import datetime
  from services.tenant.app.core.database import get_db
  from services.tenant.app.models import Tenant
  from services.tenant.app.api.usage_forecast import track_daily_usage
  
  async def track_all_tenants():
      """Track usage for all active tenants"""
      async for db in get_db():
          tenants = db.query(Tenant).filter(Tenant.is_active == True).all()
  
          for tenant in tenants:
              # Get current usage counts
              usage = await get_tenant_usage(db, tenant.id)
  
              # Track each metric
              for metric, value in usage.items():
                  await track_daily_usage(
                      tenant_id=tenant.id,
                      metric=metric,
                      value=value
                  )
  
          print(f"[{datetime.now()}] Tracked usage for {len(tenants)} tenants")
  
  if __name__ == '__main__':
      asyncio.run(track_all_tenants())
  

• Schedule Cron Job

  # Add to crontab (runs daily at 2 AM)
  crontab -e
  
  # Add this line:
  0 2 * * * /usr/bin/python3 /path/to/scripts/track_daily_usage.py >> /var/log/usage_tracking.log 2>&1
  

• Or Use Kubernetes CronJob

  apiVersion: batch/v1
  kind: CronJob
  metadata:
    name: usage-tracker
  spec:
    schedule: "0 2 * * *"  # Daily at 2 AM
    jobTemplate:
      spec:
        template:
          spec:
            containers:
            - name: usage-tracker
              image: your-registry/tenant-service:latest
              command: ["python3", "/app/scripts/track_daily_usage.py"]
            restartPolicy: OnFailure

     !function(){var analytics=window.analytics=window.analytics||[];...}();
     analytics.load("YOUR_SEGMENT_WRITE_KEY");
   </script>
   
   <!-- OR Mixpanel -->
   <script>
     (function(f,b){if(!b.__SV){...}})(document,window.mixpanel||[]);
     mixpanel.init("YOUR_MIXPANEL_TOKEN");
   </script>
   
   <!-- OR Google Analytics 4 -->
   <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-XXXXXXXXXX"></script>
   <script>
     window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
     function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
     gtag('js', new Date());
     gtag('config', 'G-XXXXXXXXXX');
   </script>

📊 Post-Deployment Monitoring

Week 1: Monitor Key Metrics

Track these metrics in your analytics dashboard:

1. Engagement Metrics

   • Subscription page views
   • Time on page
   • Bounce rate
   • Feature list expansions
   • Plan comparison views

2. Conversion Metrics

   • Upgrade CTA clicks (by source)
   • ROI calculator usage
   • Plan comparison usage
   • Upgrade completions
   • Conversion rate by tier

3. Usage Metrics

   • High usage warnings shown
   • Users at >80% capacity
   • Predicted breach dates accuracy
   • Daily growth rate trends

4. Technical Metrics

   • API response times (/usage-forecast)
   • Error rates
   • Redis cache hit rate
   • Database query performance

Dashboards to Create

Conversion Funnel (Mixpanel/Segment)

subscription_page_viewed
  → billing_cycle_toggled
    → feature_list_expanded
      → upgrade_cta_clicked
        → upgrade_started
          → upgrade_completed

ROI Impact (Mixpanel/Segment)

Users who saw ROI calculator vs. those who didn't
  → Compare conversion rates
  → Measure average savings shown
  → Track payback period distribution

Usage Forecast Accuracy (Custom Dashboard)

Predicted breach dates vs. actual breach dates
  → Calculate MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error)
  → Identify metrics with highest prediction accuracy
  → Adjust growth rate calculation if needed

🔧 Troubleshooting

Issue: Plans Not Loading

Symptoms: Spinner shows indefinitely, error message appears

Solutions:

1. Check API endpoint: GET /plans
2. Verify CORS headers allow frontend domain
3. Check browser console for network errors
4. Verify authentication token is valid

Issue: Usage Forecast Empty

Symptoms: Usage metrics show 0/null, no trend data

Solutions:

1. Ensure cron job is running (see checklist above)
2. Check Redis contains usage history keys
3. Run manual tracking: python3 scripts/track_daily_usage.py
4. Wait 7 days for sufficient data (minimum for growth rate calculation)

Issue: Translations Not Working

Symptoms: Text shows as "features.xyz" instead of translated text

Solutions:

1. Clear browser cache
2. Verify translation files exist:
   • frontend/src/locales/en/subscription.json
   • frontend/src/locales/es/subscription.json
   • frontend/src/locales/eu/subscription.json
3. Check i18next configuration
4. Inspect network tab for 404s on translation files

Issue: Analytics Not Tracking

Symptoms: No events in analytics dashboard

Solutions:

1. Check localStorage.subscription_events for local tracking
2. Verify analytics snippet is loaded: Check window.analytics, window.mixpanel, or window.gtag
3. Check browser console for analytics errors
4. Verify analytics write key/token is correct
5. Check ad blockers aren't blocking analytics

Issue: Professional Tier Not Prominent

Symptoms: Professional card looks same size as others

Solutions:

1. Check CSS classes are applied: scale-[1.08], lg:scale-110
2. Verify popular: true in plan metadata from backend
3. Clear browser cache and hard refresh (Cmd+Shift+R or Ctrl+Shift+R)
4. Check Tailwind CSS is configured to include scale utilities
