Outstanding Items (Pre-Production)

🔴 Critical (Must Fix Before Production)

1. JWT Secret Configuration
2. Current: Uses default dev secret key
3. Required: Set secure random 256-bit key

4. Command: export JWT_SECRET_KEY="$(openssl rand -hex 32)"

5. Authentication Implementation

6. Current: Authenticates by agent ID only
7. Required: Implement proper credential verification
8. Timeline: 1-2 days

⚠️ Important (Should Fix)

1. Test Coverage Improvement
2. Current: 11% actual coverage
3. Target: 80%+ for critical modules

4. Timeline: 1-2 weeks

5. Security Hardening

6. Configure production CORS settings
7. Add agent credential storage schema
8. Timeline: 3-5 days

💡 Nice to Have (Can Fix After Launch)

1. Performance Optimization
2. Database query optimization
3. Response caching

4. Connection pool tuning

5. Feature Enhancements

6. Advanced monitoring dashboards
7. Automated capacity scaling
8. Enhanced error reporting

Production Deployment Strategy

Recommended Deployment Phases

Phase 1: Critical Fixes (1-2 days)

# Set secure JWT secret
export JWT_SECRET_KEY="$(openssl rand -hex 32)"

# Fix authentication implementation
# (Code changes provided in security audit report)

Phase 2: Production Deploy (Day 3)

# Deploy to production environment
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.observability.yml up -d

# Verify all health checks pass
curl http://production-host:8080/health

# Run deployment validation checklist
# (Complete checklist in ops/DEPLOYMENT_CHECKLIST.md)

Phase 3: Monitoring & Validation (Days 4-5) - Monitor system performance under real load - Validate alerting and escalation procedures - Execute disaster recovery drill - Performance baseline establishment
