Caddy Reverse Proxy

Config: Caddyfile
Profiles: 3 (prod, staging, dev)

Production Profile

drop.rs {
    reverse_proxy backend:3003
    
    # Security headers
    header {
        Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"
        X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff"
        X-Frame-Options "DENY"
        X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block"
        Referrer-Policy "strict-origin-when-cross-origin"
    }
    
    # Rate limiting (Caddy plugin)
    rate_limit {
        zone dynamic {
            key {remote_host}
            events 1000
            window 1m
        }
    }
    
    # Gzip compression
    encode gzip
    
    # Access logs
    log {
        output file /var/log/caddy/access.log
        format json
    }
}

www.drop.rs {
    redir https://drop.rs{uri}
}

Staging Profile

staging.drop.rs {
    reverse_proxy backend:3003
    tls internal  # Self-signed cert
}

Dev Profile

localhost:3004 {
    reverse_proxy backend:3003
}

Run:

# Production
docker-compose --profile prod up

# Staging
docker-compose --profile staging up

# Dev
docker-compose up  # Default profile

Evidence: Caddy running, curl https://drop.rs/health → 200 OK (when deployed)

Backup & Disaster Recovery

Backup Strategy

Resource	Method	Frequency	Retention	RPO	RTO
PostgreSQL	Azure Backup (geo-redundant)	Daily (3 AM UTC)	7 days	1 hour	4 hours
Redis	No backup (ephemeral cache)	N/A	N/A	N/A	0 (rebuild)
Container Images	ACR geo-replication	On push	90 days	0 (immutable)	5 min
Secrets	Key Vault soft-delete	On update	90 days	0 (versioned)	5 min
Config	Git (GitHub)	On commit	Forever	0 (immutable)	5 min

Recovery Procedures

Runbook: docs/runbooks/backup-recovery.md

Scenario 1: Database Corruption

1. Stop backend container apps
2. Restore PostgreSQL from latest backup (Azure Portal or CLI)
3. Verify data integrity (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users)
4. Start backend container apps
5. Monitor error logs (Sentry + Grafana)

RTO: 4 hours (includes verification)

Scenario 2: Region Failure

1. Failover DNS to secondary region (Azure Traffic Manager)
2. Restore PostgreSQL from geo-redundant backup
3. Deploy container apps in secondary region (Terraform)
4. Update DNS CNAME (drop.rs → secondary.azurecontainerapps.io)

RTO: 8 hours (includes DNS propagation)

Scenario 3: Accidental Data Deletion

1. Identify deleted records (audit_log table)
2. Restore from backup to temporary database
3. Export deleted records as SQL
4. Import to production database
5. Verify via API (GET /v1/users/me)

RTO: 2 hours

Evidence: .github/workflows/backup-verify.yml (daily automated test)

Release Process

Tool: semantic-release + commitlint
Versioning: Semantic Versioning (v1.0.0, v1.1.0, v2.0.0)
Changelog: Auto-generated from commit messages

Commit Message Format

<type>(<scope>): <subject>

<body>

<footer>

Types:

• feat: — New feature (minor bump)
• fix: — Bug fix (patch bump)
• perf: — Performance improvement (patch bump)
• refactor: — Code refactor (no version bump)
• test: — Test changes (no version bump)
• docs: — Documentation (no version bump)
• chore: — Build/tooling (no version bump)
• BREAKING CHANGE: — Breaking change (major bump)

Example:

git commit -m "feat(ips): add NBS IPS payment initiation

Implements POST /v1/ips/initiate endpoint.
Supports phone-based transfers via NBS IPS.

Closes #42"

Release Workflow

1. Push to develop → CI tests pass
2. Merge develop → main → semantic-release runs
3. semantic-release:
   • Analyzes commit messages
   • Determines version bump (1.0.0 → 1.1.0)
   • Generates CHANGELOG.md
   • Creates Git tag (v1.1.0)
   • Triggers deploy-production.yml workflow

Evidence: package.json (semantic-release config), .releaserc.json

CI/CD Workflows (12)

Directory: .github/workflows/

Workflow	Trigger	Purpose
test.yml	PR, push to develop/main	Unit + integration tests
quality-gate.yml	PR	Coverage gate (52% backend, frontend tracked)
security.yml	PR, push	CORS, EnvGuard, rate limiting, gitleaks
accessibility.yml	PR, push	axe-core 23 rules
contract.yml	PR, push	Pact contract testing (12 interactions)
k6.yml	PR, push to main	Load testing (4 scenarios)
backup-verify.yml	Daily 6 AM UTC	Automated backup restoration test
build.yml	Push to develop	Docker image build (backend + frontend)
deploy-staging.yml	Push to develop	Staging deployment (Azure Container Apps)
deploy-production.yml	Tag v*	Production deployment (blue-green, 5 min rollback window)
sonar.yml	PR, push	SonarCloud static analysis
visual-regression.yml	PR	Playwright visual regression (30 pages)

deploy-production.yml Details

Strategy: Blue-green deployment (zero downtime)

Steps:

1. Checkout code
2. Build Docker images (backend + frontend)
3. Push to ACR (tag: v1.1.0 + latest)
4. Deploy to "green" revision (Azure Container Apps)
5. Health check green revision (GET /health)
6. Route 10% traffic to green (canary)
7. Wait 5 minutes (monitor error rate)
8. If error rate < 1%: Route 100% traffic to green
9. If error rate ≥ 1%: Rollback to blue (1 command)
10. Mark green as "blue" (for next deployment)

Rollback Time: < 5 minutes (revision swap, no rebuild)

Evidence: .github/workflows/deploy-production.yml (exists, tested on staging)
