# - Create test message
# - Test broadcast
# - Test scheduling
# - Monitor Flower dashboard
# - Check logs for errors

# Load testing
# - Send 100+ messages
# - Monitor resource usage
# - Check response times

2. Deployment Steps

# 1. Pull latest code
git pull origin main

# 2. Build images
docker-compose build

# 3. Start services
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

# 4. Run migrations
docker-compose exec bot alembic upgrade head

# 5. Verify services

📈 Scaling Strategy

When to Scale

  • Response time > 2 seconds
  • CPU usage consistently > 80%
  • Memory usage consistently > 80%
  • Queue backlog growing
  • Error rate increasing
  • During peak usage times

Horizontal Scaling

# Add more workers to docker-compose.prod.yml
# Example: 2 extra send workers

services:
  celery_worker_send_1:
    # existing config
    
  celery_worker_send_2:
    # duplicate and modify
    container_name: tg_autoposter_worker_send_prod_2
    
  celery_worker_send_3:
    # duplicate and modify
    container_name: tg_autoposter_worker_send_prod_3

Vertical Scaling

  • Increase docker resource limits
  • Increase database memory
  • Increase Redis memory
  • Optimize queries and code

Database Scaling

  • Read replicas for read-heavy workloads
  • Connection pooling
  • Query optimization
  • Caching layer (already implemented)
  • Partitioning large tables (if needed)

📞 Support & Escalation

Support Channels

  • GitHub Issues for bugs
  • GitHub Discussions for questions
  • Email for critical issues
  • Slack/Discord channel (optional)

Escalation Path

  1. Check logs and metrics
  2. Review documentation
  3. Search GitHub issues
  4. Ask in GitHub discussions
  5. Contact maintainers
  6. Professional support (if available)
