🚀 Deployment Steps
Deploy Backend
Option 1: Heroku
# Create Procfile in backend folder:
web: gunicorn -w 4 -k uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker app.main:app
# Deploy
heroku login
heroku create your-app-name
git push heroku main
Option 2: AWS EC2
# SSH into instance
# Install Python, pip, PostgreSQL
# Clone repo
# Install dependencies
# Run with gunicorn
gunicorn -w 4 -k uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker app.main:app
Option 3: DigitalOcean
- Similar to AWS
- Create droplet
- Install dependencies
- Run application
- Use Nginx as reverse proxy
Deploy Frontend
Option 1: Vercel
npm install -g vercel
vercel
# Follow prompts - connects to GitHub
Option 2: Netlify
npm run build
# Drag dist folder to netlify.com
Option 3: AWS S3 + CloudFront
npm run build
# Upload dist to S3
# Set up CloudFront distribution
Deploy Database
Option 1: AWS RDS
- Create PostgreSQL instance
- Update DATABASE_URL in backend
Option 2: Heroku PostgreSQL
heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:standard-0
Option 3: DigitalOcean Managed Database
- Create managed PostgreSQL
- Use connection string in DATABASE_URL
🔐 Security Checklist
Before going to production:
- Change JWT_SECRET_KEY from default
- Use HTTPS only
- Set secure CORS origins
- Enable database backups
- Use environment variables for secrets
- Implement rate limiting
- Add password requirements
- Enable CSRF protection
- Use HTTPS certificates (Let's Encrypt)
- Regular security updates
- Database encryption at rest
- Implement logging and monitoring
📊 Performance Optimization
Already implemented:
- Database indexes on frequent queries
- Pagination in list endpoints
- Lazy loading for images
- CSS minification (build process)
- Vite for optimized bundling
Consider adding:
- Redis caching
- CDN for static assets
- Image optimization/lazy loading
- Gzip compression
- Database connection pooling
- API rate limiting
📈 Monitoring & Maintenance
Logs
# Backend logs (development)
# Visible in terminal when running uvicorn
# Frontend logs
# Check browser console (F12)
Database Backups
# Backup
pg_dump -U postgres ecommerce_db > backup.sql
# Restore
psql -U postgres ecommerce_db < backup.sql
Updates
- Keep dependencies updated
- Monitor security advisories
- Regular testing after updates
- Maintain changelog
