## 📈 Scaling
|
|
|
|
**Current Setup (Development):**
|
|
- Single server
|
|
- Docker Compose
|
|
- Good for: 10-50 users
|
|
|
|
**Production Scaling:**
|
|
- Horizontal scaling (stateless backend)
|
|
- Load balancer for multiple instances
|
|
- Managed PostgreSQL (RDS, Cloud SQL)
|
|
- Redis for session storage
|
|
- CDN for frontend assets
|
|
|
|
**Cost Estimates:**
|
|
- Small team (10 users): ~$120/month
|
|
- Medium team (50 users): ~$500/month
|
|
- Enterprise (500 users): ~$5,000/month
|

## 📝 Configuration
|
|
|
|
### Backend (.env)
|
|
```env
|
|
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-... # Required
|
|
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://... # Auto-configured
|
|
SECRET_KEY=... # Auto-generated
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Frontend (.env.local)
|
|
```env
|
|
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:8000
|
|
NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_URL=http://localhost:8000
|
|
```

|
|
|
|
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Backend won't start
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker-compose logs backend
|
|
# Check for missing ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Frontend won't connect
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Verify backend is running
|
|
curl http://localhost:8000/api/health
|
|
|
|
# Check .env.local exists in frontend/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### WebSocket not connecting
|
|
- Ensure backend is running
|
|
- Check browser console for errors
|
