## 8) π Deployment Checklist
### Pre-Deployment (CRITICAL):
- [ ] **Implement authentication middleware** (currently placeholder)
- [ ] **Migrate existing data** to include tenant_id (see MIGRATION_GUIDE.md)
- [ ] **Configure CORS** with production domains
- [ ] **Set up rate limiting** (Redis recommended)
- [ ] **Configure monitoring** (logs, metrics, alerts)
- [ ] **Run security tests** (cross-tenant access, auth bypass)
- [ ] **Load testing** (verify performance under load)
### Production Configuration:
- [ ] Use managed vector DB or isolated ChromaDB instances per tenant
- [ ] Enable HTTPS only (no HTTP)
- [ ] Set up API authentication (JWT/OAuth)
- [ ] Configure backup strategy
- [ ] Set up alerting (errors, low confidence, security events)
- [ ] Document API endpoints
- [ ] Create runbook for operations
### Post-Deployment:
- [ ] Monitor error rates
- [ ] Track confidence scores (alert if < 0.40 average)
- [ ] Monitor retrieval quality
- [ ] Collect user feedback
- [ ] Iterate on prompts based on real usage
- [ ] Regular security audits

## 9) β οΈ Breaking Changes
### API Changes:
**ALL endpoints now require `tenant_id`:**
**Before:**
```json
POST /chat
{
"user_id": "user123",
"kb_id": "kb001",
"question": "How do I reset password?"
}
```
**After:**
```json
POST /chat
{
"tenant_id": "tenant_abc", // REQUIRED
"user_id": "user123",
"kb_id": "kb001",
"question": "How do I reset password?"
}
```
### Migration Required:
- Existing vector store data needs `tenant_id` added
- See `MIGRATION_GUIDE.md` for detailed steps
- Test scripts updated to include tenant_id

## 10) β
Testing Status
### Automated Tests:
- β
`test_rag.py` - Pytest suite created
- β
`evaluate.py` - Updated with tenant_id
- β
`test_rag.py` - Updated with tenant_id
### Manual Testing Required:
- [ ] Test cross-tenant isolation
- [ ] Test file upload limits
- [ ] Test CORS restrictions
- [ ] Test hallucination prevention
- [ ] Test citation accuracy
---
## 11) π Next Steps
### Immediate (Before Production):
1. **Implement authentication** - Replace placeholder in `app/middleware/auth.py`
2. **Migrate existing data** - Add tenant_id to all chunks (see MIGRATION_GUIDE.md)
3. **Configure production settings** - Update .env with production values
4. **Run security tests** - Verify cross-tenant isolation works
### Short-term (First Week):
1. Monitor confidence scores
2. Collect user feedback
3. Tune similarity threshold if needed
4. Add rate limiting
### Long-term (First Month):
1. Add monitoring dashboards
2. Implement caching
3. Optimize chunking strategy
4. Add query enhancement
