## Executive Summary

This guide consolidates deployment procedures from multiple sources and provides a realistic, step-by-step approach to deploying the Foxhunt HFT Trading System to production.

**Current Production Status**:
- ✅ Core crates compile successfully (418 tests passing)
- ✅ Configuration centralization complete (Wave 66)
- ✅ Authentication architecture designed (Wave 63)
- ⚠️ Integration tests blocked (workspace-level compilation issues)
- ⚠️ Performance claims unverified (14ns latency requires measurement)
- 📋 Authentication implementation deferred (ready, needs enablement)

**Deployment Readiness**: The system can be deployed for **initial production validation** with the understanding that:
- Core trading engine tested (281 unit tests passing)
- Integration test coverage incomplete
- Performance baselines need measurement
- Some features designed but not yet enabled (authentication)

### Deployment Order

**CRITICAL**: Services must be deployed in this exact order to ensure dependencies are met:

1. **Infrastructure Layer** (First)
   - PostgreSQL database
   - Redis cache
   - Configuration service
   - Monitoring (Prometheus/Grafana)

2. **Core Services** (Second)
   - Trading Service (primary business logic)
   - Backtesting Service
   - ML Training Service

3. **Client Layer** (Last)
   - TLI Terminal Interface

**Rationale**:
- Trading Service is the monolithic core with all business logic
- Backtesting/ML services are independent but connect to shared infrastructure
- TLI is a pure client connecting via gRPC to the three services

---

## Deployment Procedure

### Step 1: Environment Configuration

**Wave 66 Configuration Management** provides centralized constants and environment templates:

```bash
# Copy environment template
cp .env.production.example .env.production

# Edit with production values
vim .env.production
```

**Key Configuration Sections** (from Wave 66 Agent 11):

```bash
# Database Configuration
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://foxhunt_user:${DB_PASSWORD}@db-primary:5432/foxhunt_production
REDIS_URL=redis://redis-cluster:6379

# Performance Settings
MAX_LATENCY_US=50
ENABLE_SIMD=true
CPU_AFFINITY_CORES=2,3,4,5

# Risk Management (Wave 66 Centralized Constants)
# These are now in common/src/thresholds.rs:
# - BREACH_SOFT_PCT = 90
# - BREACH_HARD_PCT = 100
# - BREACH_CRITICAL_PCT = 120

# Cache TTLs (Wave 66 Centralized)
# - POSITION_CACHE_TTL = 300s
# - COMPLIANCE_CACHE_TTL = 86400s
# - VAR_CACHE_TTL = 3600s

# External APIs
POLYGON_API_KEY=${POLYGON_API_KEY}
ALPACA_API_KEY=${ALPACA_API_KEY}
ALPACA_SECRET_KEY=${ALPACA_SECRET_KEY}
```

**Configuration Reference**: See `/home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/docs/CONFIGURATION_QUICK_REFERENCE.md` (Wave 66 Agent 11)

### Step 2: Build Production Binaries

```bash
# Clean build
cargo clean

# Build all services in release mode
cargo build --release --workspace

# Verify binaries
ls -lh target/release/trading_service
ls -lh target/release/backtesting_service
ls -lh target/release/ml_training_service
ls -lh target/release/tli
```

**Expected Build Time**: 5-10 minutes on production hardware

**Build Verification**:
```bash
# Should complete with 0 errors, warnings acceptable
# Wave 66 Agent 12: 418 tests passing in core crates
cargo test --workspace --release --lib
```

### Step 3: Database Migration

```bash
# Run migrations in order
cd database/migrations

# Apply schemas
psql $DATABASE_URL -f 001_core_schema.sql
psql $DATABASE_URL -f 002_model_config.sql
psql $DATABASE_URL -f 003_risk_management.sql
psql $DATABASE_URL -f 004_trading_events.sql

# Verify migration
psql $DATABASE_URL -c "SELECT tablename FROM pg_tables WHERE schemaname='public';"
```

### Step 4: Service Deployment (Production Order)

#### 4.1 Trading Service (Deploy First)

The Trading Service is the monolithic core containing all business logic:

```bash
# Start Trading Service
cd /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt
./target/release/trading_service \
    --config /etc/foxhunt/trading_service.toml \
    --env-file .env.production \
    2>&1 | tee /var/log/foxhunt/trading_service.log &

# Verify startup
tail -f /var/log/foxhunt/trading_service.log
# Look for: "Trading service started on 0.0.0.0:50051"
```

**Health Check**:
```bash
# Wait 30 seconds for initialization
sleep 30

# Check gRPC health endpoint
grpcurl -plaintext localhost:50051 grpc.health.v1.Health/Check

# Expected response:
# {
#   "status": "SERVING"
# }
```

**Known Limitations**:
- ⚠️ Authentication is **designed but disabled** (Wave 63)
  - Can be enabled by uncommenting `.layer(auth_layer)` in main.rs
  - Requires Tonic 0.14.2+ (Wave 64 upgrade complete)
  - Implementation is production-ready, just not activated

#### 4.2 Backtesting Service (Deploy Second)

```bash
# Start Backtesting Service
./target/release/backtesting_service \
    --config /etc/foxhunt/backtesting_service.toml \
    --env-file .env.production \
    2>&1 | tee /var/log/foxhunt/backtesting_service.log &

# Health check
grpcurl -plaintext localhost:50052 grpc.health.v1.Health/Check
```

#### 4.3 ML Training Service (Deploy Third)

```bash
# Start ML Training Service
./target/release/ml_training_service \
    --config /etc/foxhunt/ml_training_service.toml \
    --env-file .env.production \
    2>&1 | tee /var/log/foxhunt/ml_training_service.log &

# Health check
grpcurl -plaintext localhost:50053 grpc.health.v1.Health/Check
```

#### 4.4 TLI Client (Deploy Last)

```bash
# TLI is a pure client - no server components
# Start after all services are healthy

./target/release/tli \
    --trading-endpoint localhost:50051 \
    --backtesting-endpoint localhost:50052 \
    --ml-endpoint localhost:50053

# TLI will display terminal UI
# Press '?' for help menu
```

### Step 5: Configuration Hot-Reload (Wave 66 Design)

**PostgreSQL NOTIFY/LISTEN Architecture** (Designed but not yet implemented):

The Wave 66 configuration centralization provides the foundation for hot-reload:
- Compile-time constants: `common/src/thresholds.rs` ✅ Implemented
- Runtime configuration: `config/src/runtime.rs` 📋 Designed (Wave 67)
- Database configuration: PostgreSQL with NOTIFY/LISTEN 📋 Designed (Wave 68)

**Current State**: Configuration requires service restart
**Future State**: Hot-reload without deployment (planned Wave 68)

---

## Configuration Management

### Wave 66 Centralized Configuration

**120+ Constants Centralized** in `/home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/common/src/thresholds.rs`:

```rust
// Example usage in services
use common::thresholds;

// Risk management
let soft_breach = thresholds::risk::BREACH_SOFT_PCT;  // 90%
let hard_breach = thresholds::risk::BREACH_HARD_PCT;  // 100%

// Performance
let timeout = thresholds::database::QUERY_TIMEOUT;    // 30s
let cache_ttl = thresholds::cache::POSITION_CACHE_TTL; // 300s

// Safety
let auto_recovery = thresholds::safety::PRODUCTION_AUTO_RECOVERY_DELAY; // 1800s
```

**Environment Variables** (80+ documented in `.env.production.example`):
- Database connection strings
- External API keys
- Performance tuning
- Feature flags
- Logging configuration

**Configuration Checklist**:
- [ ] Database credentials in Vault
- [ ] API keys secured
- [ ] CPU affinity configured
- [ ] Memory limits set
- [ ] Log rotation enabled
- [ ] Monitoring endpoints configured
- [ ] Backup schedule verified

## Health Check Verification

### Automated Health Check Script

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/scripts/production-health-check.sh

echo "Foxhunt Production Health Check"
echo "================================"

# Check Trading Service
echo "1. Trading Service..."
grpcurl -plaintext localhost:50051 grpc.health.v1.Health/Check || echo "❌ FAILED"

# Check Backtesting Service
echo "2. Backtesting Service..."
grpcurl -plaintext localhost:50052 grpc.health.v1.Health/Check || echo "❌ FAILED"

# Check ML Training Service
echo "3. ML Training Service..."
grpcurl -plaintext localhost:50053 grpc.health.v1.Health/Check || echo "❌ FAILED"

# Check Database
echo "4. PostgreSQL..."
psql $DATABASE_URL -c "SELECT 1;" > /dev/null || echo "❌ FAILED"

# Check Redis
echo "5. Redis..."
redis-cli ping | grep PONG > /dev/null || echo "❌ FAILED"

# Check Metrics Endpoint
echo "6. Prometheus Metrics..."
curl -s localhost:9090/metrics | head -n 1 || echo "❌ FAILED"

echo "================================"
echo "Health check complete"
```

**Run Health Check**:
```bash
chmod +x scripts/production-health-check.sh
./scripts/production-health-check.sh
```

### Manual Verification Steps

**1. Service Logs**:
```bash
# Check for errors in service logs
tail -100 /var/log/foxhunt/trading_service.log | grep -i error
tail -100 /var/log/foxhunt/backtesting_service.log | grep -i error
tail -100 /var/log/foxhunt/ml_training_service.log | grep -i error
```

**2. Database Connectivity**:
```bash
# Verify connections
psql $DATABASE_URL -c "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE datname='foxhunt_production';"
```

**3. Metrics Collection**:
```bash
# Verify Prometheus is scraping
curl -s localhost:9090/api/v1/targets | jq '.data.activeTargets[] | {job, health}'
```

---

## Rollback Procedures

### Emergency Rollback

**When to Rollback**:
- Critical errors in service logs
- Health checks failing after 5 minutes
- Database connection failures
- Unacceptable performance degradation
- Security incidents

**Rollback Steps**:

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Emergency rollback script

echo "INITIATING EMERGENCY ROLLBACK"
echo "=============================="

# 1. Stop new services
echo "1. Stopping new services..."
pkill -f trading_service
pkill -f backtesting_service
pkill -f ml_training_service

# 2. Verify processes stopped
sleep 5
pgrep -f trading_service && echo "WARNING: Trading service still running"

# 3. Restore previous binaries
echo "2. Restoring previous release..."
cp /opt/foxhunt/releases/previous/trading_service target/release/
cp /opt/foxhunt/releases/previous/backtesting_service target/release/
cp /opt/foxhunt/releases/previous/ml_training_service target/release/

# 4. Rollback database migrations (if applicable)
echo "3. Checking database rollback..."
# Manual step: Review migration logs and decide if rollback needed

# 5. Restart services with previous version
echo "4. Restarting previous version..."
./scripts/start-all-services.sh

# 6. Verify health
sleep 30
./scripts/production-health-check.sh

echo "=============================="
echo "Rollback complete. Review logs for issues."
```

**Save Rollback Script**:
```bash
# Save to /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/scripts/emergency-rollback.sh
chmod +x scripts/emergency-rollback.sh
```

**Rollback Checklist**:
- [ ] Services stopped cleanly
- [ ] Previous binaries restored
- [ ] Database state verified
- [ ] Configuration reverted
- [ ] Health checks passing
- [ ] Incident report filed

## Post-Deployment Validation

### Functional Validation

**Test Trading Flow**:
```bash
# Use TLI to submit test order
# This verifies the full gRPC stack

./target/release/tli
# In TLI:
# 1. Press 't' for trading
# 2. Submit small test order
# 3. Verify execution in logs
```

**Test Backtesting**:
```bash
# Via TLI or gRPC
grpcurl -plaintext -d '{\"strategy_id\": \"test-001\"}' \
    localhost:50052 backtesting.BacktestingService/RunBacktest
```

**Test ML Pipeline**:
```bash
# Check ML service health
grpcurl -plaintext -d '{}' \
    localhost:50053 ml.MLService/GetModelStatus
```

### Performance Baseline

**Wave 66 Test Results** (Measured):
- adaptive-strategy: 69 tests passing (0.10s)
- common: 68 tests passing (0.00s)
- trading_engine: 281 tests passing (2.23s)
- **Total**: 418 tests, 2.33s execution time

// Uncomment line ~315:
let server = Server::builder()
    .tls_config(tls_config.to_server_tls_config())?
    .layer(auth_layer)  // <- UNCOMMENT THIS LINE
    .add_service(trading_service_server)
    // ... rest of services
```

**Security Checklist**:
- [ ] TLS certificates installed
- [ ] Firewall rules configured
