# CodeGraph Release Management Guide
## Overview
This document outlines the comprehensive release management system for CodeGraph, designed to ensure zero-downtime production deployments while maintaining the system's strict performance requirements (sub-50ms P99 latency, >10,000 QPS throughput).
## Architecture Alignment
Our release management system is specifically designed around CodeGraph's architecture targets:
- **Latency**: Sub-50ms P95 response times maintained during deployments
- **Throughput**: >10,000 QPS sustained during rolling updates
- **Memory Efficiency**: <500MB footprint for 100k LOC processing
- **Cache Performance**: >92% hit rates preserved across deployments
- **Availability**: 99.9% uptime with zero-downtime deployments
## Release Pipeline Components
### 1. Automated Release Pipeline (`.github/workflows/release.yml`)
**Triggers:**
- Git tag pushes (`v*`)
- Manual workflow dispatch with environment selection
**Key Features:**
- Multi-platform binary builds (Linux x86_64/ARM64, macOS, Windows)
- Size-optimized container images using `release-size` profile
- Crates.io publishing for workspace components
- Automated changelog generation
**Deployment Strategies:**
- **Rolling Updates**: Default for staging, gradual pod replacement
- **Blue-Green**: Complete environment switch, instant rollback capability
- **Canary**: Traffic-weighted deployments with automatic promotion/rollback
### 2. Emergency Rollback System (`.github/workflows/rollback.yml`)
**Safety Features:**
- Explicit confirmation requirement (`CONFIRM` input)
- Pre-rollback state backup creation
- Target version validation against git history
- Database migration rollback (when applicable)
**Rollback Phases:**
1. **Validation**: Confirm target version exists and is valid
2. **Backup**: Create complete state snapshot (K8s resources, configs, secrets)
3. **Database Rollback**: Handle schema downgrades if needed
4. **Application Rollback**: Execute deployment strategy-specific rollback
5. **Verification**: Comprehensive post-rollback validation
6. **Notification**: Automated incident reporting and stakeholder alerts
### 3. Deployment Validation Framework (`scripts/deploy/validate.sh`)
**Comprehensive Health Checks:**
- Authentication-aware endpoint validation
- HTTP/2 optimization feature testing
- GraphQL query execution verification
- Prometheus metrics availability validation
- Performance benchmarking (response time thresholds)
- Concurrent request handling (configurable load testing)
- Security header compliance verification
**Configuration Options:**
```bash
# Basic usage
BASE_URL=https://api.codegraph.com scripts/deploy/validate.sh
# Advanced configuration
BASE_URL=https://staging.codegraph.com \
TIMEOUT_SECS=120 \
CONCURRENT_REQUESTS=50 \
MAX_RESPONSE_TIME_MS=200 \
VERBOSE=true \
scripts/deploy/validate.sh
```
### 4. Production Monitoring (`monitoring/`)
**Prometheus Alerting Rules** (`prometheus-rules.yml`):
- **Application Health**: Service availability, endpoint response times
- **Performance Monitoring**: Latency percentiles, throughput tracking
- **Resource Utilization**: Memory, CPU, disk usage with architecture-aligned thresholds
- **Database Health**: RocksDB performance, FAISS index efficiency
- **Cache Performance**: Hit rates, eviction patterns
- **Security Compliance**: Authentication failures, rate limiting triggers
**Grafana Dashboard** (`grafana-dashboard.json`):
- Real-time performance metrics visualization
- Architecture target compliance tracking
- Deployment event correlation
- Resource utilization trends
- Cache performance analysis
## Release Process Workflows
### Standard Release Process
1. **Pre-Release Validation**
```bash
# Run comprehensive checks
make ci
make load-test
make deploy-validate
```
2. **Release Creation**
- Create git tag: `git tag -a v1.2.3 -m "Release v1.2.3"`
- Push tag: `git push origin v1.2.3`
- Pipeline automatically triggers
3. **Staging Deployment**
- Automatic deployment to staging environment
- Full validation suite execution
- Performance regression testing
4. **Production Deployment**
```bash
# Manual workflow dispatch with production target
gh workflow run release.yml \
-f version=v1.2.3 \
-f environment=production \
-f deployment_strategy=canary
```
5. **Post-Deployment Monitoring**
- Grafana dashboard monitoring
- Prometheus alert verification
- Performance metrics validation
### Emergency Rollback Process
1. **Trigger Rollback**
```bash
gh workflow run rollback.yml \
-f target_version=v1.2.2 \
-f environment=production \
-f reason="Critical performance regression" \
-f confirmation=CONFIRM
```
2. **Automatic Execution**
- Version validation and backup creation
- Database migration rollback (if needed)
- Application deployment rollback
- Health verification and stakeholder notification
### Deployment Strategies
#### Rolling Updates
- **Use Case**: Standard releases, low-risk changes
- **Characteristics**: Gradual pod replacement, maintains capacity
- **Rollback**: Kubernetes native rollback capabilities
#### Blue-Green Deployment
- **Use Case**: Major releases, database schema changes
- **Characteristics**: Complete environment duplication
- **Rollback**: Instant traffic switch to previous environment
#### Canary Deployment
- **Use Case**: High-risk changes, experimental features
- **Characteristics**: Traffic-weighted gradual rollout
- **Rollback**: Automatic based on performance metrics
## Performance Monitoring Integration
### Key Performance Indicators
**Latency Monitoring:**
```yaml
# P95 latency threshold
- alert: HighLatency
expr: histogram_quantile(0.95, http_request_duration_seconds) > 0.05
for: 2m
```
**Throughput Tracking:**
```yaml
# QPS threshold monitoring
- alert: LowThroughput
expr: rate(http_requests_total[5m]) < 10000
for: 5m
```
**Cache Performance:**
```yaml
# Cache hit rate monitoring
- alert: LowCacheHitRate
expr: cache_hit_ratio < 0.92
for: 3m
```
### Deployment Event Correlation
Grafana dashboard includes deployment annotations that correlate releases with performance changes, enabling rapid identification of deployment-related issues.
## Security and Compliance
### Pre-Deployment Security Checks
- Container image vulnerability scanning
- Dependency audit with `cargo audit`
- Security header validation in deployment tests
### Runtime Security Monitoring
- Authentication failure tracking
- Rate limiting effectiveness
- API key usage patterns
## Troubleshooting Guide
### Common Issues and Solutions
**Build Failures:**
```bash
# Clear build cache and retry
cargo clean
make build-release
```
**Deployment Validation Failures:**
```bash
# Debug with verbose output
VERBOSE=true BASE_URL=https://staging.codegraph.com scripts/deploy/validate.sh
```
**Performance Regression:**
```bash
# Compare against baseline
make perf-regression
```
**Rollback Issues:**
- Check target version exists in git history
- Verify Kubernetes access credentials
- Confirm backup creation succeeded
### Monitoring and Alerting
**Critical Alerts:**
- Service unavailability (>1 minute)
- P95 latency >50ms (>2 minutes)
- Cache hit rate <92% (>3 minutes)
- Memory usage >500MB (>5 minutes)
**Dashboard Access:**
- Production: `https://grafana.codegraph.com/d/codegraph-prod`
- Staging: `https://grafana.codegraph.com/d/codegraph-staging`
## Disaster Recovery
### Backup Strategy
- Automated state backups before each deployment
- RocksDB snapshot preservation
- Configuration and secret backup
- 30-day retention policy
### Recovery Procedures
1. **Service Restoration**: Emergency rollback to last known good version
2. **Data Recovery**: RocksDB restoration from snapshots
3. **Configuration Recovery**: K8s resource restoration from backups
4. **Validation**: Complete deployment validation suite execution
## Continuous Improvement
### Performance Baseline Management
```bash
# Update performance baselines after successful releases
BASELINE_NAME=v1.2.3 make bench
make bench-report
```
### Release Metrics Tracking
- Deployment success rate
- Rollback frequency
- Time to recovery
- Performance impact measurement
### Feedback Integration
- Post-incident reviews
