Security Architecture

1. Network Isolation:

   • Backend services on internal network only
   • API Gateway bridges external and internal networks
   • Static IP assignments for predictable routing

2. Authentication Flow:

   Client → API Gateway (JWT + MFA) → Backend Services
                ↓
            Rate Limiter
                ↓
            Request Router
   

3. Non-Root Containers:

   • All services run as user foxhunt (UID 1000)
   • Minimal base images (debian:bookworm-slim)
   • No privilege escalation

4. Health Checks:

   • gRPC health protocol for all services
   • grpc_health_probe binary installed
   • Configurable intervals and timeouts

Resource Management

CPU Allocations:

• Trading Service: 4 cores (limit), 2 cores (reservation)
• ML Training: 4 cores (limit), 2 cores (reservation)
• API Gateway: 2 cores (limit), 1 core (reservation)
• Backtesting: 2 cores (limit), 1 core (reservation)

Memory Allocations:

• ML Training: 8GB (limit), 4GB (reservation)
• Trading Service: 4GB (limit), 2GB (reservation)
• Backtesting: 2GB (limit), 1GB (reservation)
• API Gateway: 1GB (limit), 512MB (reservation)

Deployment Instructions

Prerequisites

# Install Docker and Docker Compose
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

# Verify versions
docker --version  # Should be 24.0+
docker compose version  # Should be 2.0+

Quick Start (3 Steps)

# 1. Configure environment
cp .env.production.example .env.production
# Edit .env.production and change all CHANGE_ME values

# 2. Generate secrets
openssl rand -base64 32 > JWT_SECRET.txt
# Copy value to .env.production

# 3. Start stack
docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml up -d

# Verify
docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml ps
grpcurl -plaintext localhost:50050 grpc.health.v1.Health/Check

Production Deployment

See /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/DOCKER_DEPLOYMENT.md for:

• Security hardening steps
• High availability setup
• Backup procedures
• Update strategies
• Troubleshooting guide

Testing & Validation

Service Connectivity Tests

# Test PostgreSQL
docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml exec postgres \
  psql -U foxhunt -c "SELECT version();"

# Test Redis
docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml exec redis \
  redis-cli ping

# Test API Gateway health
grpcurl -plaintext localhost:50050 grpc.health.v1.Health/Check

Health Check Validation

# Check all service health
docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml ps

# Inspect specific service
docker inspect foxhunt-api-gateway | jq '.[0].State.Health'

Metrics Validation

# Prometheus targets
curl http://localhost:9090/api/v1/targets

# Service metrics
curl http://localhost:9091/metrics | grep -E "(grpc|http|cpu|memory)"

Known Limitations & Future Work

Current Limitations

1. Dev Vault Mode: Uses dev mode with root token (replace with proper initialization)
2. No TLS: Certificate generation required for production
3. Single Replica: High availability requires multiple service instances
4. No Secrets Rotation: Manual secret updates required

Recommended Enhancements

1. Docker Swarm Mode: Enable overlay networks and secrets
2. Kubernetes Migration: Helm charts for K8s deployment
3. Service Mesh: Istio/Linkerd for advanced traffic management
4. Automated Backups: Scheduled PostgreSQL and Redis backups to S3
5. Auto-Scaling: Horizontal pod autoscaling based on metrics
