🚀 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
