# Cite-Finance API - Deployment Status
**Date:** 2025-10-26
**Environment:** Production (Heroku)
**Status:** 🟡 **Deployed - Minor Issue (Redis TLS)**
---
## ✅ What's Working
### Infrastructure
- ✅ **Heroku App:** `cite-finance-api-prod` (running)
- ✅ **PostgreSQL:** Provisioned & schema initialized
- ✅ **Redis:** Provisioned (connection needs TLS fix)
- ✅ **Web Dyno:** Running Python 3.11.7 + uvicorn
### API Endpoints
- ✅ **Root:** https://cite-finance-api-prod-a25c5600ed94.herokuapp.com/
- ✅ **Docs:** https://cite-finance-api-prod-a25c5600ed94.herokuapp.com/docs
- ✅ **Health:** https://cite-finance-api-prod-a25c5600ed94.herokuapp.com/health (503 - Redis issue)
### Database
- ✅ All tables created:
- users
- api_keys
- usage_records
- subscription_history
- webhook_events
- feature_flags
- ✅ Demo user inserted: `demo@cite-finance.io`
- ✅ Indexes created
- ✅ Triggers configured
### Code
- ✅ All routes registered:
- `/api/v1/auth/*` - Authentication
- `/api/v1/metrics` - Financial data
- `/api/v1/companies/*` - Company search
- `/api/v1` - Subscriptions
- ✅ Middleware configured (auth + rate limit)
- ✅ Git repo initialized with 37 files committed

## 🟡 Known Issues
### 1. Redis TLS Connection
**Problem:** Heroku Redis uses TLS (`rediss://`) but the Redis client isn't configured for TLS.
**Error:**
```
Error 1 connecting to ec2-98-91-62-135.compute-1.amazonaws.com:22340
```
**Impact:**
- Health check returns 503
- Rate limiting not functional
- User registration may fail (depends on startup)
**Fix Required:**
```python
# In src/main.py, update Redis connection:
redis_client = await redis.from_url(
redis_url,
decode_responses=True,
ssl_cert_reqs="none" # Add this for Heroku
)
```
### 2. Stripe Not Configured
**Problem:** No Stripe API keys set (expected - needs your Stripe account).
**Impact:**
- Subscription endpoints will return errors
- Payment processing non-functional
**Fix:** Set environment variables:
```bash
heroku config:set \
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_live_xxx \
STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_xxx \
--app cite-finance-api-prod
```

## 📊 Current Configuration
```bash
# Environment Variables
DATABASE_URL=postgres://u2qmgctna0lcd8:***@cer3tutrbi7n1t.cluster-czrs8kj4isg7.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:5432/dfc1ffd6lqd8to
REDIS_URL=rediss://:***@ec2-98-91-62-135.compute-1.amazonaws.com:22340
SEC_USER_AGENT=Cite-Finance-API/1.0 (cite-finance@production.app)
ALLOWED_ORIGINS=*
DEBUG=false
LOG_LEVEL=INFO
```
```bash
# Costs
PostgreSQL: ~$5/month (essential-0)
Redis: ~$3/month (mini)
Dyno: $0/month (eco - 1000 free hours)
Total: ~$8/month
```

## 🔧 Quick Fixes Needed
### Fix 1: Redis TLS (5 minutes)
```bash
cd /home/phyrexian/Downloads/llm_automation/project_portfolio/cite-finance-api
# Edit src/main.py, find line ~52:
# Change:
redis_client = await redis.from_url(redis_url, decode_responses=True)
# To:
redis_client = await redis.from_url(
redis_url,
decode_responses=True,
ssl_cert_reqs="none"
)
# Deploy:
git add src/main.py
git commit -m "Fix: Add Redis TLS support for Heroku"
git push heroku main
```
### Fix 2: Test Registration (after Redis fix)
```bash
curl -X POST https://cite-finance-api-prod-a25c5600ed94.herokuapp.com/api/v1/auth/register \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"email":"yourname@example.com","company_name":"Your Company"}'
# Should return:
{
"user_id": "user_xxx",
"email": "yourname@example.com",
"tier": "free",
"api_key": "fsk_xxxxxx", # SAVE THIS
"key_prefix": "fsk_xxxx...",
"message": "Account created successfully..."
}
```
### Fix 3: Test API Call
```bash
# Using the API key from registration:
curl -H "X-API-Key: fsk_xxxxxx" \
"https://cite-finance-api-prod-a25c5600ed94.herokuapp.com/api/v1/metrics?ticker=AAPL&metrics=revenue"
# Should return financial data with SEC citations
```

## 🎯 Next Steps (Post-Fixes)
### Immediate (Today)
1. Fix Redis TLS connection
2. Test full registration → API call flow
3. Set up Stripe test keys (if monetizing)
### Short Term (This Week)
1. Add custom domain (e.g., `api.cite-finance.io`)
2. Enable Heroku auto-deploy from GitHub
3. Set up error tracking (Sentry)
4. Configure log drains
### Medium Term (This Month)
1. Create landing page
2. Write blog post + distribute
3. Post on HN/Reddit
4. Monitor first signups
