+# Docker Compose Troubleshooting
+
+## Service Health Checks
+
+### Check Service Status
+
+View the status of all Docker Compose services:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose ps
+```
+
+Expected output for healthy system:
+```
+NAME                        IMAGE                           STATUS
+foxhunt-api-gateway         foxhunt/api_gateway:latest      Up (healthy)

+foxhunt-grafana             grafana/grafana:latest          Up (healthy)
+```
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### Issue: Service shows "unhealthy"
+
+**Symptoms**: Docker Compose shows service status as "unhealthy" or "starting"
+
+**Diagnosis**:
+```bash
+# Check health endpoint
+curl http://localhost:8080/health  # Adjust port for service
+
+# Check container logs for errors
+docker logs foxhunt-api-gateway --tail 100
+
+# Check health check definition
+docker inspect foxhunt-api-gateway | jq '.[].State.Health'
+
+# View health check history
+docker inspect foxhunt-api-gateway | jq '.[].State.Health.Log'
+```
+
+**Fix**:
+```bash
+# Restart unhealthy service
+docker-compose restart api_gateway
+
+# If health check fails repeatedly, check service dependencies
+docker-compose logs postgres redis  # Check if dependencies are healthy
+
+# Verify health check configuration in docker-compose.yml
+docker-compose config | grep -A 10 healthcheck
+```
+
+#### Issue: Service restarting continuously
+
+**Symptoms**: Service exits immediately after starting, high restart count
+
+**Diagnosis**:
+```bash
+# View restart count
+docker-compose ps api_gateway
+
+# View full logs (including previous crashes)
+docker logs foxhunt-api-gateway
+
+# Check for port conflicts
+netstat -tulpn | grep 50051  # Check if port already in use
+
+# View recent container events
+docker events --since 10m --filter 'container=foxhunt-api-gateway'
+```
+
+**Common Causes & Fixes**:
+
+1. **Port Conflict**:
+```bash
+# Find process using port
+sudo lsof -i :50051
+
+# Kill conflicting process or change port in docker-compose.yml
+```
+
+2. **Database Connection Failed**:
+```bash
+# Verify PostgreSQL is accessible
+docker exec foxhunt-postgres pg_isready -U foxhunt
+
+# Check database credentials in .env file
+grep DATABASE_URL .env
+
+# Run migrations if database exists but schema is missing
+cargo sqlx migrate run
+```
+
+3. **Missing Environment Variables**:
+```bash
+# Check environment variables passed to container
+docker inspect foxhunt-api-gateway | jq '.[].Config.Env'
+
+# Verify .env file exists and is sourced
+ls -la .env
+docker-compose config | grep -A 5 environment
+```
+
+#### Issue: "Connection refused" errors
+
+**Symptoms**: Services cannot connect to each other or external clients cannot reach services
+
+**Diagnosis**:
+```bash
+# Verify service is listening on correct port
+docker exec foxhunt-api-gateway netstat -tulpn
+
+# Check service mesh connectivity
+docker network inspect foxhunt_foxhunt-network
+
+# Test internal connectivity between services
+docker exec foxhunt-api-gateway ping foxhunt-postgres
+docker exec foxhunt-api-gateway curl http://foxhunt-trading-service:50051/health
+```
+
+**Fix**:
+```bash
+# Ensure all services are on the same network
+docker-compose config | grep -A 5 networks
+
+# Restart networking stack
+docker-compose down
+docker network prune -f
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# Verify DNS resolution
+docker exec foxhunt-api-gateway nslookup foxhunt-postgres
+```
+
+#### Issue: "Cannot allocate memory" or OOM errors
+
+**Symptoms**: Services crash with out-of-memory errors
+
+**Diagnosis**:
+```bash
+# Check Docker memory usage
+docker stats --no-stream
+
+# View container memory limits
+docker inspect foxhunt-api-gateway | jq '.[].HostConfig.Memory'
+
+# Check system memory
+free -h
+```
+
+**Fix**:
+```bash
+# Increase container memory limit in docker-compose.yml
+services:
+  api_gateway:
+    deploy:
+      resources:
+        limits:
+          memory: 2G
+        reservations:
+          memory: 1G
+
+# Or increase Docker daemon memory limit
+# Edit /etc/docker/daemon.json:
+{
+  "default-memory": "2G"
+}
+
+# Restart Docker
+sudo systemctl restart docker
+```
+
+## Rebuild and Redeploy
+
+### Clean Rebuild
+
+Perform a complete rebuild from scratch:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Stop all services
+docker-compose down
+
+# 2. Remove volumes (CAUTION: deletes all data)
+docker-compose down -v
+
+# 3. Remove old images
+docker-compose down --rmi all
+
+# 4. Clean build cache
+docker builder prune -af
+
+# 5. Rebuild images from scratch
+docker-compose build --no-cache --parallel
+
+# 6. Start services
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# 7. Watch logs for startup issues
+docker-compose logs -f
+
+# 8. Verify health
+docker-compose ps
+```
+
+### Individual Service Rebuild
+
+Rebuild and restart a single service:
+
+```bash
+# Rebuild service image
+docker-compose build --no-cache api_gateway
+
+# Restart service with new image
+docker-compose up -d api_gateway
+
+# Verify service started correctly
+docker-compose logs -f api_gateway
+```
+
+### Incremental Updates
+
+For faster development iterations:
+
+```bash
+# Build without cache for changed code
+docker-compose build api_gateway
+
+# Restart with new build
+docker-compose up -d api_gateway
+
+# Hot reload without full rebuild (if supported)
+docker-compose restart api_gateway
+```
+
+## Database Issues
+
+### Issue: "Database connection failed"
+
+**Diagnosis**:
+```bash
+# Verify PostgreSQL is healthy
+docker-compose ps postgres
+
+# Check if database exists
+docker exec foxhunt-postgres psql -U foxhunt -d foxhunt -c '\l'
+
+# Check database logs
+docker logs foxhunt-postgres --tail 50
+
+# Test connection from service container
+docker exec foxhunt-api-gateway pg_isready -h postgres -U foxhunt
+```
+
+**Fix**:
+```bash
+# Restart PostgreSQL
+docker-compose restart postgres
+
+# Wait for PostgreSQL to be ready
+sleep 10
+
+# Run migrations
+cargo sqlx migrate run
+
+# Verify tables created
+docker exec foxhunt-postgres psql -U foxhunt -d foxhunt -c '\dt'
+```
+
+### Issue: "Migration failed"
+
+**Diagnosis**:
+```bash
+# Check migration status
+cargo sqlx migrate info
+
+# View migration history in database
+docker exec foxhunt-postgres psql -U foxhunt -d foxhunt -c \
+  'SELECT * FROM _sqlx_migrations ORDER BY version;'
+
+# Check for partial migrations
+docker logs foxhunt-postgres | grep -i migration
+```
+
+**Fix**:
+```bash
+# Revert last migration if corrupt
+cargo sqlx migrate revert
+
+# Re-run migrations
+cargo sqlx migrate run
+
+# Or manually reset migration state (CAUTION)
+docker exec foxhunt-postgres psql -U foxhunt -d foxhunt -c \
+  'DELETE FROM _sqlx_migrations WHERE version = <failed_version>;'
+```
+
+### Issue: "Redis connection failed"
+
+**Diagnosis**:
+```bash
+# Verify Redis is running
+docker-compose ps redis
+
+# Test Redis connection
+docker exec foxhunt-redis redis-cli ping
+
+# Check Redis logs
+docker logs foxhunt-redis --tail 50
+
+# Test from service container
+docker exec foxhunt-api-gateway redis-cli -h redis ping
+```
+
+**Fix**:
+```bash
+# Restart Redis
+docker-compose restart redis
+
+# Clear Redis data if corrupt
+docker exec foxhunt-redis redis-cli FLUSHALL
+
+# Verify connectivity
+docker exec foxhunt-redis redis-cli INFO server
+```
+
+## Network Issues
+
+### Issue: Services can't communicate
+
+**Diagnosis**:
+```bash
+# List Docker networks
+docker network ls
+
+# Inspect Foxhunt network
+docker network inspect foxhunt_foxhunt-network
+
+# Verify all services on same network
+docker-compose config | grep -A 5 networks
+
+# Check DNS resolution
+docker exec foxhunt-api-gateway nslookup foxhunt-postgres
+docker exec foxhunt-api-gateway nslookup foxhunt-redis
+```
+
+**Fix**:
+```bash
+# Recreate network
+docker network rm foxhunt_foxhunt-network
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# Or force network recreation
+docker-compose down
+docker-compose up -d --force-recreate
+```
+
+### Issue: External access not working
+
+**Diagnosis**:
+```bash
+# Check port bindings
+docker-compose ps
+docker port foxhunt-api-gateway
+
+# Verify firewall rules
+sudo iptables -L -n | grep 50051
+
+# Test from host machine
+curl http://localhost:50051/health
+grpc_health_probe -addr=localhost:50051
+```
+
+**Fix**:
+```bash
+# Ensure ports are exposed in docker-compose.yml
+services:
+  api_gateway:
+    ports:
+      - "50051:50050"  # host:container
+
+# Restart with port forwarding
+docker-compose down
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# Check if SELinux is blocking (on RHEL/CentOS)
+sudo setenforce 0  # Temporarily disable to test
+```
+
+## Performance Issues
+
+### Issue: Slow response times
+
+**Diagnosis**:
+```bash
+# Check container resource usage
+docker stats --no-stream
+
+# Check for CPU throttling
+docker inspect foxhunt-api-gateway | jq '.[].HostConfig.CpuQuota'
+
+# Monitor real-time stats
+docker stats
+
+# Check for disk I/O bottlenecks
+iostat -x 1 10
+```
+
+**Fix**:
+```bash
+# Increase CPU/memory limits
+services:
+  api_gateway:
+    deploy:
+      resources:
+        limits:
+          cpus: '2.0'
+          memory: 4G
+
+# Use host network for lower latency (development only)
+services:
+  api_gateway:
+    network_mode: "host"
+
+# Optimize Docker storage driver
+# Edit /etc/docker/daemon.json:
+{
+  "storage-driver": "overlay2"
+}
+```
+
+### Issue: High disk usage
+
+**Diagnosis**:
+```bash
+# Check Docker disk usage
+docker system df -v
+
+# Find large images
+docker images --format "{{.Repository}}:{{.Tag}} {{.Size}}"
+
+# Check volume usage
+docker volume ls
+du -sh /var/lib/docker/volumes/*
+```
+
+**Fix**:
+```bash
+# Clean up unused resources
+docker system prune -af --volumes
+
+# Remove old images
+docker image prune -af --filter "until=24h"
+
+# Compact database (if WAL files growing)
+docker exec foxhunt-postgres psql -U foxhunt -d foxhunt -c 'VACUUM FULL;'
+```
+
+## Logging and Debugging
+
+### View Service Logs
+
+```bash
+# View logs for specific service
+docker-compose logs api_gateway
+
+# Follow logs in real-time
+docker-compose logs -f api_gateway
+
+# View last N lines
+docker-compose logs --tail=100 api_gateway
+
+# View logs since timestamp
+docker-compose logs --since=2025-01-07T10:00:00 api_gateway
+
+# View all service logs
+docker-compose logs -f
+```
+
+### Enable Debug Logging
+
+```bash
+# Set debug log level in .env
+echo "RUST_LOG=debug" >> .env
+
+# Restart service to pick up changes
+docker-compose restart api_gateway
+
+# Verify debug logs appear
+docker-compose logs api_gateway | grep DEBUG
+```
+
+### Export Logs for Analysis
+
+```bash
+# Export logs to file
+docker-compose logs api_gateway > api_gateway_logs.txt
+
+# Export with timestamps
+docker-compose logs -t api_gateway > api_gateway_logs.txt
+
+# Export all service logs
+docker-compose logs > all_services_logs.txt
+
+# Compress for sharing
+tar -czf logs_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).tar.gz *_logs.txt
+```
+
+## Emergency Procedures
+
+### Complete System Reset
+
+```bash
+# WARNING: This deletes ALL data
+
+# 1. Stop and remove all containers
+docker-compose down -v --remove-orphans
+
+# 2. Remove all Foxhunt images
+docker images | grep foxhunt | awk '{print $3}' | xargs docker rmi -f
+
+# 3. Remove network
+docker network rm foxhunt_foxhunt-network
+
+# 4. Clean Docker system
+docker system prune -af --volumes
+
+# 5. Rebuild from scratch
+docker-compose build --no-cache
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# 6. Run migrations
+cargo sqlx migrate run
+
+# 7. Verify system
+docker-compose ps
+```
+
+### Backup Before Troubleshooting
+
+```bash
+# Backup database
+docker exec foxhunt-postgres pg_dump -U foxhunt foxhunt > backup_$(date +%Y%m%d).sql
+
+# Backup Redis
+docker exec foxhunt-redis redis-cli --rdb /tmp/dump.rdb
+docker cp foxhunt-redis:/tmp/dump.rdb ./redis_backup_$(date +%Y%m%d).rdb
+
+# Backup configuration
+cp .env .env.backup
+cp docker-compose.yml docker-compose.yml.backup
+```
+
+### Restore from Backup
+
+```bash
+# Restore database
+docker exec -i foxhunt-postgres psql -U foxhunt -d foxhunt < backup_20250107.sql
+
+# Restore Redis
+docker cp redis_backup_20250107.rdb foxhunt-redis:/tmp/dump.rdb
+docker exec foxhunt-redis redis-cli --rdb /tmp/dump.rdb RESTORE
+
+# Restart services
+docker-compose restart
+```
+
+## Health Check Automation
+
+### Automated Health Monitoring Script
+
+Create `scripts/docker_health_monitor.sh`:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+SERVICES=("api_gateway" "trading_service" "backtesting_service" "ml_training_service" "postgres" "redis")
+ALERT_EMAIL="ops@foxhunt.trading"
+
+for service in "${SERVICES[@]}"; do
+  status=$(docker inspect -f '{{.State.Health.Status}}' foxhunt-${service} 2>/dev/null)
+
+  if [ "$status" != "healthy" ]; then
+    echo "ALERT: Service ${service} is ${status}"
+
+    # Send alert (configure your alerting system)
+    echo "Service ${service} unhealthy at $(date)" | mail -s "Foxhunt Alert" $ALERT_EMAIL
+
+    # Attempt automatic recovery
+    docker-compose restart ${service}
+    sleep 30
+
+    # Check if recovered
+    status=$(docker inspect -f '{{.State.Health.Status}}' foxhunt-${service})
+    if [ "$status" = "healthy" ]; then
+      echo "Service ${service} recovered"
+    else
+      echo "Service ${service} failed to recover - manual intervention required"
+    fi
+  fi
+done
+```
+
+### Setup Cron Job
+
+```bash
+# Add to crontab (run every 5 minutes)
+crontab -e
+
+# Add line:
+*/5 * * * * /home/foxhunt/scripts/docker_health_monitor.sh >> /var/log/foxhunt_health.log 2>&1
+```

+# Health Check Verification Procedures
+
+## Overview
+
+Foxhunt HFT system implements comprehensive health checks across all services to ensure system reliability and enable automated monitoring. This guide covers health check endpoints, verification procedures, and automated monitoring scripts.
+
+## Service Health Endpoints
+
+### HTTP Health Endpoints
+
+Each service exposes an HTTP health endpoint for easy monitoring:
+
+#### API Gateway
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8080/health
+
+# Expected response:
+{
+  "status": "healthy",
+  "service": "api_gateway",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "uptime_seconds": 3600,
+  "dependencies": {
+    "postgres": "healthy",
+    "redis": "healthy",
+    "trading_service": "healthy"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Trading Service
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8081/health
+
+# Expected response:
+{
+  "status": "healthy",
+  "service": "trading_service",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "uptime_seconds": 3600,
+  "dependencies": {
+    "postgres": "healthy",
+    "redis": "healthy"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Backtesting Service
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8083/health
+
+# Expected response:
+{
+  "status": "healthy",
+  "service": "backtesting_service",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "uptime_seconds": 3600,
+  "models_loaded": 3,
+  "dependencies": {
+    "postgres": "healthy"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### ML Training Service
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8095/health
+
+# Expected response:
+{
+  "status": "healthy",
+  "service": "ml_training_service",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "uptime_seconds": 3600,
+  "gpu_available": true,
+  "models_loaded": 3,
+  "dependencies": {
+    "postgres": "healthy",
+    "storage": "healthy"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### gRPC Health Checks
+
+For gRPC services, use `grpc_health_probe`:
+
+#### Install grpc_health_probe
+```bash
+# Download latest release
+wget https://github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-health-probe/releases/download/v0.4.19/grpc_health_probe-linux-amd64
+chmod +x grpc_health_probe-linux-amd64
+sudo mv grpc_health_probe-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/grpc_health_probe
+```
+
+#### API Gateway (gRPC)
+```bash
+grpc_health_probe -addr=localhost:50051
+
+# With TLS:
+grpc_health_probe -addr=localhost:50051 \
+  -tls \
+  -tls-ca-cert=/tmp/foxhunt/certs/ca.crt
+
+# Expected output:
+# status: SERVING
+```
+
+#### Trading Service (gRPC)
+```bash
+grpc_health_probe -addr=localhost:50052
+
+# Expected output:
+# status: SERVING

+```
+
+### Grafana Dashboard for Health Monitoring
+
+Create Grafana dashboard JSON at `/home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/grafana/dashboards/health_overview.json`:
+
+```json

+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Advanced Health Checks
+
+### Deep Health Checks
+
+Beyond basic liveness checks, implement deep health checks:
+
+```bash
+# Database query performance
+curl http://localhost:8081/health/deep
+
+# Expected response includes query timing:
+{
+  "status": "healthy",
+  "checks": {
+    "database_query": {
+      "status": "healthy",
+      "latency_ms": 15,
+      "query": "SELECT 1"
+    },
+    "redis_ping": {
+      "status": "healthy",
+      "latency_ms": 2
+    },
+    "model_inference": {
+      "status": "healthy",
+      "latency_ms": 45,
+      "model": "MAMBA-2"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Dependency Chain Validation
+
+Validate entire request chain:
+
+```bash
+# Create end-to-end health check
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/health/e2e \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "check_trading_flow": true,
+    "check_ml_inference": true,
+    "check_backtesting": false
+  }'
+
+# Response includes timing for each step:
+{
+  "status": "healthy",
+  "total_latency_ms": 120,
+  "steps": [
+    {"step": "auth", "latency_ms": 10, "status": "ok"},
+    {"step": "rate_limit", "latency_ms": 5, "status": "ok"},
+    {"step": "trading_service", "latency_ms": 50, "status": "ok"},
+    {"step": "risk_check", "latency_ms": 30, "status": "ok"},
+    {"step": "ml_inference", "latency_ms": 25, "status": "ok"}
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting Failed Health Checks
+
+### Common Issues and Solutions
+
+#### 1. HTTP Health Endpoint Returns 503
+
+**Cause**: Service dependencies are unhealthy
+
+**Diagnosis**:
+```bash
+# Check service logs
+docker logs foxhunt-api-gateway --tail 50 | grep -i health
+
+# Check dependency status in health response
+curl http://localhost:8080/health | jq '.dependencies'
+```
+
+**Fix**:
+```bash
+# Identify failed dependency
+FAILED_DEP=$(curl -s http://localhost:8080/health | jq -r '.dependencies | to_entries[] | select(.value != "healthy") | .key')
+
+# Restart failed dependency
+docker-compose restart $FAILED_DEP
+
+# Verify recovery
+sleep 10
+curl http://localhost:8080/health
+```
+
+#### 2. gRPC Health Check Times Out
+
+**Cause**: Service not listening or TLS configuration issue
+
+**Diagnosis**:
+```bash
+# Check if port is listening
+netstat -tulpn | grep 50051
+
+# Verify service is running
+docker-compose ps api_gateway
+
+# Check gRPC logs
+docker logs foxhunt-api-gateway | grep -i grpc
+```
+
+**Fix**:
+```bash
+# Verify TLS certificates if using secure connection
+grpc_health_probe -addr=localhost:50051 -tls -tls-ca-cert=/tmp/foxhunt/certs/ca.crt
+
+# Or test without TLS
+grpc_health_probe -addr=localhost:50051
+```
+
+#### 3. Database Health Check Fails
+
+**Cause**: Connection pool exhausted or database locked
+
+**Diagnosis**:
+```bash
+# Check PostgreSQL connections
+docker exec foxhunt-postgres psql -U foxhunt -d foxhunt -c \
+  'SELECT count(*) FROM pg_stat_activity;'
+
+# Check for locks
+docker exec foxhunt-postgres psql -U foxhunt -d foxhunt -c \
+  'SELECT * FROM pg_locks WHERE NOT granted;'
+```
+
+**Fix**:
+```bash
+# Terminate idle connections
+docker exec foxhunt-postgres psql -U foxhunt -d foxhunt -c \
+  'SELECT pg_terminate_backend(pid) FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE state = '\''idle'\'' AND state_change < NOW() - INTERVAL '\''5 minutes'\'';'
+
+# Restart service to reset connection pool
+docker-compose restart api_gateway
+```
+

+
+## Startup Dependencies
+
+### Layer 1: Infrastructure (Start First)
+
+These services MUST be running and healthy before starting any application services.
+
+```bash
+# Start infrastructure layer
+docker-compose up -d postgres redis vault influxdb
+
+# Wait for all to be healthy (30-60 seconds)
+docker-compose ps | grep -E "(postgres|redis|vault|influxdb)"
+
+# Verify health
+docker exec foxhunt-postgres pg_isready -U foxhunt
+docker exec foxhunt-redis redis-cli ping
+curl -s http://localhost:8200/v1/sys/health
+curl -s http://localhost:8086/health
+```
+
+**PostgreSQL** (TimescaleDB):
+- **No dependencies**
+- **Critical**: Database must be healthy before any service starts
+- **Health check**: `pg_isready -U foxhunt`
+- **Startup time**: 15-30 seconds
+
+**Redis**:
+- **No dependencies**
+- **Critical**: Cache required for session management
+- **Health check**: `redis-cli ping`
+- **Startup time**: 5-10 seconds
+
+**HashiCorp Vault**:
+- **No dependencies**
+- **Critical**: Secrets management for all services
+- **Health check**: `curl http://localhost:8200/v1/sys/health`
+- **Startup time**: 10-15 seconds
+- **Note**: Dev mode auto-unseals, production requires manual unsealing
+
+**InfluxDB**:
+- **No dependencies**
+- **Optional**: Used for time-series metrics storage
+- **Health check**: `curl http://localhost:8086/health`
+- **Startup time**: 15-20 seconds
+
+### Layer 2: Core Services (After Infrastructure)
+
+Application services depend on infrastructure being healthy.
+
+```bash
+# Wait for infrastructure
+sleep 30
+
+# Run database migrations
+cargo sqlx migrate run
+
+# Start core services
+docker-compose up -d trading_service backtesting_service ml_training_service
+
+# Wait for services to be healthy (60-120 seconds)
+docker-compose ps | grep -E "(trading|backtesting|ml_training)"
+```
+
+**Trading Service**:
+- **Required**: PostgreSQL, Redis, Vault
+- **Optional**: None
+- **Critical**: Core trading logic, cannot start without database
+- **Health check**: `curl http://localhost:8081/health`
+- **Startup time**: 30-45 seconds
+
+**Backtesting Service**:
+- **Required**: PostgreSQL, Vault
+- **Optional**: Redis, ML Training Service
+- **Independent**: Can run standalone for historical analysis
+- **Health check**: `curl http://localhost:8083/health`
+- **Startup time**: 60-90 seconds (model loading)
+
+**ML Training Service**:
+- **Required**: PostgreSQL, Vault
+- **Optional**: Redis, Storage (S3/MinIO)
+- **Independent**: Can run standalone for model training
+- **Health check**: `curl http://localhost:8095/health`
+- **Startup time**: 60-120 seconds (model initialization, GPU warmup)
+
+### Layer 3: Gateway (After Core Services)
+
+API Gateway depends on backend services being available.
+
+```bash
+# Wait for core services
+sleep 60
+
+# Start API Gateway
+docker-compose up -d api_gateway
+
+# Verify gateway is healthy
+grpc_health_probe -addr=localhost:50051
+curl http://localhost:8080/health
+```
+
+**API Gateway**:
+- **Required**: PostgreSQL, Redis, Vault, Trading Service
+- **Optional**: Backtesting Service, ML Training Service
+- **Graceful degradation**: If optional services unavailable, routes to them return 503
+- **Health check**: `grpc_health_probe -addr=localhost:50051`
+- **Startup time**: 20-30 seconds
+
+### Layer 4: Monitoring (Optional)
+
+Monitoring stack can start independently at any time.
+
+```bash
+# Start monitoring stack
+docker-compose up -d prometheus grafana alertmanager
+
+# Verify dashboards accessible
+curl http://localhost:9090  # Prometheus
+curl http://localhost:3000  # Grafana
+```
+
+**Prometheus**:
+- **No dependencies**
+- **Optional**: Metrics collection and alerting
+- **Startup time**: 10-15 seconds
+
+**Grafana**:
+- **Required**: Prometheus (for datasource)
+- **Optional**: Visualization dashboards
+- **Startup time**: 15-20 seconds
+
+## Service Requirements Matrix

+
+## Failure Impact Analysis
+
+### PostgreSQL Failure
+
+**Impact**:
+- ❌ **Trading Service**: Immediate failure, cannot execute trades
+- ❌ **Backtesting Service**: Cannot load historical data
+- ❌ **ML Training Service**: Cannot save/load models
+- ❌ **API Gateway**: Authentication fails (session data in DB)
+
+**Mitigation**:
+```bash
+# PostgreSQL has built-in replication
+# Configure streaming replication in production
+
+# Monitor with Prometheus alert
+- alert: PostgreSQLDown
+  expr: up{job="postgres"} == 0
+  for: 1m
+```
+
+### Redis Failure
+
+**Impact**:
+- ⚠️ **Trading Service**: Rate limiting disabled, session cache unavailable
+- ⚠️ **Backtesting Service**: Degraded performance (no caching)
+- ⚠️ **ML Training Service**: Feature cache unavailable
+- ❌ **API Gateway**: Session management fails, auth degraded
+
+**Mitigation**:
+```bash
+# Redis has built-in persistence
+# Configure AOF or RDB snapshots
+
+# Graceful degradation in code
+if redis.is_available() {
+    use_redis_cache();
+} else {
+    fallback_to_database();
+}
+```
+
+### Trading Service Failure
+
+**Impact**:
+- ❌ **API Gateway**: Trading routes return 503
+- ✅ **Backtesting Service**: Unaffected (independent)
+- ✅ **ML Training Service**: Unaffected (independent)
+
+**Mitigation**:
+```bash
+# Deploy multiple Trading Service replicas
+docker-compose up -d --scale trading_service=3
+
+# API Gateway load balances across replicas
+```
+
+### Vault Failure
+
+**Impact**:
+- ⚠️ **All Services**: Cannot fetch new secrets (existing secrets cached)
+- ❌ **New Service Starts**: Cannot authenticate without secrets
+
+**Mitigation**:
+```bash
+# Vault HA cluster in production
+# Services cache secrets with TTL
+
+# Emergency: Use environment variables as fallback
+export DATABASE_PASSWORD="fallback_password"
+```
+
+## Service Communication Patterns
+
+### Request Flow: Client → Trading Execution
+
+```
+TLI Client
+   │
+   │ 1. gRPC request (authenticated)
+   ▼
+API Gateway
+   │
+   │ 2. Validate JWT token (check Redis cache)
+   │ 3. Check rate limit (Redis)
+   │ 4. Forward to Trading Service
+   ▼
+Trading Service
+   │
+   │ 5. Validate order (business logic)
+   │ 6. Check risk limits (PostgreSQL)
+   │ 7. Execute trade (broker API)
+   │ 8. Record in database (PostgreSQL)
+   │ 9. Update cache (Redis)
+   ▼
+Response to Client
+```
+
+### Request Flow: Backtesting
+
+```
+TLI Client
+   │
+   │ 1. Start backtest request
+   ▼
+API Gateway
+   │
+   │ 2. Route to Backtesting Service
+   ▼
+Backtesting Service
+   │
+   │ 3. Load market data (PostgreSQL/Parquet)
+   │ 4. Optional: Load ML model (ML Training Service)
+   │ 5. Run strategy simulation
+   │ 6. Calculate metrics (Sharpe, drawdown)
+   │ 7. Store results (PostgreSQL)
+   ▼
+Response with backtest ID
+```
+
+### Request Flow: ML Model Training
+
+```
+ML Training Service (async job)
+   │
+   │ 1. Fetch training data (PostgreSQL)
+   │ 2. Extract features (technical indicators)
+   │ 3. Train model (GPU acceleration)
+   │ 4. Validate model (test set)
+   │ 5. Save checkpoint (S3/PostgreSQL)
+   │ 6. Update model registry (PostgreSQL)
+   │ 7. Publish metrics (InfluxDB)
+   ▼
+Model ready for inference
+```
+
+## Circuit Breaker Configuration
+
+Services implement circuit breakers to prevent cascade failures:
+
+```rust
+// Example: Trading Service → PostgreSQL
+CircuitBreaker::new()
+    .failure_threshold(5)        // Open after 5 failures
+    .timeout(Duration::from_secs(30))
+    .half_open_timeout(Duration::from_secs(60))
+```
+
+**States**:
+- **Closed**: Normal operation, requests pass through
+- **Open**: Too many failures, requests fail fast
+- **Half-Open**: Test if service recovered
+
+## Production Considerations
+
+### High Availability
+
+1. **Database Replication**:
+```yaml
+# Primary-replica setup
+services:
+  postgres-primary:
+    image: timescale/timescaledb:latest
+    environment:
+      - POSTGRES_REPLICATION_MODE=master
+
+  postgres-replica:
+    image: timescale/timescaledb:latest
+    environment:
+      - POSTGRES_REPLICATION_MODE=slave
+      - POSTGRES_MASTER_HOST=postgres-primary
+```
+
+2. **Service Scaling**:
+```bash
+# Scale critical services
+docker-compose up -d --scale trading_service=3 --scale api_gateway=2
+```
+
+3. **Load Balancing**:
+```yaml
+# Add nginx for load balancing
+services:
+  nginx:
+    image: nginx:alpine
+    ports:
+      - "443:443"
+    volumes:
+      - ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
+```
+
+### Monitoring Dependencies
+
+```yaml
+# Prometheus service discovery
+scrape_configs:
+  - job_name: 'api_gateway'
+    static_configs:
+      - targets: ['api_gateway:9091']
+
+  - job_name: 'trading_service'
+    static_configs:
+      - targets: ['trading_service:9092']
+
+  - job_name: 'postgres'
+    static_configs:
+      - targets: ['postgres_exporter:9187']
+```
+
+### Dependency Health Dashboard
+
+Grafana dashboard showing service dependencies:
+
+```json
+{
+  "dashboard": {
+    "title": "Foxhunt Service Dependencies",
+    "panels": [
+      {
+        "title": "Service Mesh Health",
+        "targets": [
+          {
+            "expr": "up{job=~\"api_gateway|trading_service|backtesting_service|ml_training_service\"}"
+          }
+        ]
+      },
+      {
+        "title": "Infrastructure Health",
+        "targets": [
+          {
+            "expr": "up{job=~\"postgres|redis|vault\"}"
+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting Dependency Issues
+
+### Check Dependency Chain
+
+```bash
+# Verify full dependency chain
+scripts/check_dependencies.sh
+```
+
+Create `scripts/check_dependencies.sh`:
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+echo "=== Checking Service Dependencies ==="
+
+# Layer 1: Infrastructure
+echo -e "\n[Infrastructure]"
+docker exec foxhunt-postgres pg_isready -U foxhunt && echo "  PostgreSQL: ✓" || echo "  PostgreSQL: ✗"

+# TLS Certificate Setup Guide
+
+## Overview
+Foxhunt HFT system uses TLS/mTLS for secure inter-service communication. This guide covers certificate generation, configuration, and troubleshooting for development and production environments.
+
+## Certificate Generation
+
+### Self-Signed Certificates (Development)
+
+For local development and testing, self-signed certificates are sufficient:
+
+```bash
+# Create certificate directory
+mkdir -p /tmp/foxhunt/certs
+cd /tmp/foxhunt/certs
+
+# Generate RSA 4096-bit private key and certificate
+openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes \
+  -keyout server.key \
+  -out server.crt \
+  -days 365 \
+  -subj "/CN=localhost"
+
+# Generate CA certificate for mTLS (mutual TLS)
+openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -key server.key \
+  -sha256 -days 365 -out ca.crt \
+  -subj "/CN=Foxhunt CA"
+
+# Set appropriate permissions
+chmod 644 server.crt ca.crt
+chmod 600 server.key
+```
+
+### Production Certificates (Let's Encrypt or Corporate CA)
+
+For production deployments, use properly signed certificates:
+
+#### Option 1: Let's Encrypt (Free, Automated)
+```bash
+# Install certbot
+sudo apt-get install certbot
+
+# Generate certificate for domain
+sudo certbot certonly --standalone \
+  -d api.foxhunt.trading \
+  -d trading.foxhunt.trading \
+  --non-interactive \
+  --agree-tos \
+  --email ops@foxhunt.trading
+
+# Copy certificates to Foxhunt directory
+sudo cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/api.foxhunt.trading/fullchain.pem /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.crt
+sudo cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/api.foxhunt.trading/privkey.pem /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.key
+sudo cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/api.foxhunt.trading/chain.pem /tmp/foxhunt/certs/ca.crt
+
+# Set permissions
+sudo chown foxhunt:foxhunt /tmp/foxhunt/certs/*
+chmod 644 /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.crt /tmp/foxhunt/certs/ca.crt
+chmod 600 /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.key
+```
+
+#### Option 2: Corporate CA (Internal PKI)
+```bash
+# Request CSR from your CA
+openssl req -new -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes \
+  -keyout server.key \
+  -out server.csr \
+  -subj "/C=US/ST=NY/L=NYC/O=Foxhunt/CN=api.foxhunt.internal"
+
+# Submit server.csr to your corporate CA
+# Receive signed certificate (server.crt) and CA chain (ca.crt)
+
+# Install certificates
+cp server.crt server.key ca.crt /tmp/foxhunt/certs/
+chmod 644 /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.crt /tmp/foxhunt/certs/ca.crt
+chmod 600 /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.key
+```
+
+### Certificate Validation
+
+Verify certificates are correctly generated:
+
+```bash
+# Verify certificate details
+openssl x509 -in /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.crt -text -noout
+
+# Check expiration date
+openssl x509 -in /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.crt -noout -dates
+
+# Verify private key matches certificate
+openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.key | openssl md5
+openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.crt | openssl md5
+# Both MD5 hashes should match
+
+# Verify CA chain
+openssl verify -CAfile /tmp/foxhunt/certs/ca.crt /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.crt
+```
+
+## Docker Configuration
+
+### Volume Mounts
+
+Update `docker-compose.yml` to mount certificates into containers:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  api_gateway:
+    volumes:
+      - ./tmp/foxhunt/certs:/tmp/foxhunt/certs:ro
+    environment:
+      - TLS_CERT_PATH=/tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.crt
+      - TLS_KEY_PATH=/tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.key
+      - TLS_CA_PATH=/tmp/foxhunt/certs/ca.crt
+
+  trading_service:
+    volumes:
+      - ./tmp/foxhunt/certs:/tmp/foxhunt/certs:ro
+    environment:
+      - TLS_CERT_PATH=/tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.crt
+      - TLS_KEY_PATH=/tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.key
+      - TLS_CA_PATH=/tmp/foxhunt/certs/ca.crt
+
+  backtesting_service:
+    volumes:
+      - ./tmp/foxhunt/certs:/tmp/foxhunt/certs:ro
+    environment:
+      - TLS_CERT_PATH=/tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.crt
+      - TLS_KEY_PATH=/tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.key
+      - TLS_CA_PATH=/tmp/foxhunt/certs/ca.crt
+
+  ml_training_service:
+    volumes:
+      - ./tmp/foxhunt/certs:/tmp/foxhunt/certs:ro
+    environment:
+      - TLS_CERT_PATH=/tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.crt
+      - TLS_KEY_PATH=/tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.key
+      - TLS_CA_PATH=/tmp/foxhunt/certs/ca.crt
+```
+
+### Kubernetes Secrets (Production)
+
+For Kubernetes deployments, use Secrets:
+
+```yaml
+# Create TLS secret
+kubectl create secret tls foxhunt-tls \
+  --cert=/tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.crt \
+  --key=/tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.key \
+  --namespace=foxhunt
+
+# Create CA secret
+kubectl create secret generic foxhunt-ca \
+  --from-file=ca.crt=/tmp/foxhunt/certs/ca.crt \
+  --namespace=foxhunt
+
+# Mount in deployment
+apiVersion: apps/v1
+kind: Deployment
+metadata:
+  name: trading-service
+spec:
+  template:
+    spec:
+      containers:
+      - name: trading-service
+        volumeMounts:
+        - name: tls-certs
+          mountPath: /tmp/foxhunt/certs
+          readOnly: true
+        env:
+        - name: TLS_CERT_PATH
+          value: /tmp/foxhunt/certs/tls.crt
+        - name: TLS_KEY_PATH
+          value: /tmp/foxhunt/certs/tls.key
+      volumes:
+      - name: tls-certs
+        secret:
+          secretName: foxhunt-tls
+```
+
+## Certificate Rotation
+
+### Automated Rotation (Let's Encrypt)
+
+```bash
+# Create renewal script
+cat > /etc/cron.daily/foxhunt-cert-renewal << 'EOF'
+#!/bin/bash
+# Renew Let's Encrypt certificates
+certbot renew --quiet
+
+# Copy to Foxhunt directory if renewed
+if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
+  cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/api.foxhunt.trading/fullchain.pem /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.crt
+  cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/api.foxhunt.trading/privkey.pem /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.key
+
+  # Restart services to pick up new certificates
+  docker-compose restart api_gateway trading_service backtesting_service ml_training_service
+fi
+EOF
+
+chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/foxhunt-cert-renewal
+```
+
+### Manual Rotation
+
+```bash
+# 1. Generate new certificates (follow generation steps above)
+
+# 2. Backup old certificates
+cp /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.crt /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.crt.bak
+cp /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.key /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.key.bak
+
+# 3. Install new certificates
+cp new-server.crt /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.crt
+cp new-server.key /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.key
+
+# 4. Restart services
+docker-compose restart api_gateway trading_service backtesting_service ml_training_service
+
+# 5. Verify services are healthy
+docker-compose ps
+curl -k https://localhost:50051/health
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### Error: "No such file or directory: /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.crt"
+
+**Cause**: Certificates not generated or volume mount incorrect
+
+**Fix**:
+```bash
+# Verify certificates exist
+ls -lh /tmp/foxhunt/certs/
+
+# Check volume mount in docker-compose.yml
+docker-compose config | grep -A 5 volumes
+
+# Regenerate certificates if missing
+cd /tmp/foxhunt/certs
+openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes \
+  -keyout server.key \
+  -out server.crt \
+  -days 365 \
+  -subj "/CN=localhost"
+```
+
+#### Error: "Permission denied: /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.key"
+
+**Cause**: Incorrect file permissions
+
+**Fix**:
+```bash
+# Set correct permissions
+chmod 600 /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.key
+chmod 644 /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.crt
+
+# If running in Docker, ensure ownership matches container user
+sudo chown 1000:1000 /tmp/foxhunt/certs/*
+```
+
+#### Error: "Certificate has expired"
+
+**Cause**: Certificate validity period exceeded
+
+**Fix**:
+```bash
+# Check expiration
+openssl x509 -in /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.crt -noout -dates
+
+# Regenerate with longer validity (1 year)
+openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes \
+  -keyout server.key \
+  -out server.crt \
+  -days 365 \
+  -subj "/CN=localhost"
+
+# Restart services
+docker-compose restart
+```
+
+#### Error: "Certificate verification failed"
+
+**Cause**: CA certificate mismatch or missing
+
+**Fix**:
+```bash
+# Verify certificate chain
+openssl verify -CAfile /tmp/foxhunt/certs/ca.crt /tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.crt
+
+# Ensure CA certificate is correct
+openssl x509 -in /tmp/foxhunt/certs/ca.crt -text -noout
+
+# Regenerate CA if needed
+openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -key server.key \
+  -sha256 -days 365 -out ca.crt \
+  -subj "/CN=Foxhunt CA"
+```
+
+#### Error: "TLS handshake failed"
+
+**Cause**: Protocol version mismatch or cipher suite incompatibility
+
+**Fix**:
+```bash
+# Test TLS connection
+openssl s_client -connect localhost:50051 -tls1_2
+
+# Check supported ciphers
+openssl ciphers -v 'HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5'
+
+# Update service configuration to allow TLS 1.2+
+# In service config (config/schemas.rs):
+# tls_min_version: "TLS1_2"
+```
+
+### Debugging Tools
+
+```bash
+# Test gRPC TLS connection
+grpc_health_probe -addr=localhost:50051 \
+  -tls \
+  -tls-ca-cert=/tmp/foxhunt/certs/ca.crt \
+  -tls-client-cert=/tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.crt \
+  -tls-client-key=/tmp/foxhunt/certs/server.key
+
+# View certificate details in service logs
+docker logs foxhunt-api-gateway 2>&1 | grep -i tls
+
+# Monitor TLS errors
+journalctl -u docker -f | grep -i "tls\|certificate"
+```
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+1. **Key Protection**:
+   - Store private keys with `600` permissions (owner read/write only)
+   - Never commit private keys to version control
+   - Use hardware security modules (HSM) for production keys
+
+2. **Certificate Validation**:
+   - Enable strict certificate validation in production
+   - Verify hostname matches certificate CN/SAN
+   - Implement certificate pinning for critical services
+
+3. **Rotation Policy**:
+   - Rotate certificates every 90 days (Let's Encrypt default)
+   - Monitor certificate expiration with alerts
+   - Maintain certificate inventory in Vault
+
+4. **Cipher Suites**:
+   - Disable weak ciphers (MD5, DES, RC4)
+   - Prefer forward secrecy (ECDHE, DHE)
+   - Use TLS 1.2 or higher
+
+## Production Checklist
+
+- [ ] Generate production certificates from trusted CA
+- [ ] Configure automated renewal (certbot or corporate process)
