Production vs Development Differences

Aspect	Development	Production
Security	Basic auth, HTTP allowed	Full security stack, HTTPS only
Logging	Console output	Structured logging, centralized
Monitoring	Manual checks	Automated monitoring/alerting
Scaling	Single instance	Auto-scaling, load balancing
Data	Test data	Real customer data, GDPR compliance
Uptime	Best effort	99.9% SLA target

🔒 Security Hardening

Operating System Security

System Hardening Checklist:

# 1. Update system packages
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

# 2. Configure automatic security updates
sudo apt install unattended-upgrades
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgrades

# 3. Configure UFW firewall
sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
sudo ufw allow ssh
sudo ufw allow 80/tcp
sudo ufw allow 443/tcp
sudo ufw enable

# 4. Install and configure fail2ban
sudo apt install fail2ban
sudo systemctl enable fail2ban
sudo systemctl start fail2ban

# 5. Disable root login and password authentication
sudo sed -i 's/PermitRootLogin yes/PermitRootLogin no/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
sudo sed -i 's/#PasswordAuthentication yes/PasswordAuthentication no/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
sudo systemctl restart ssh

# 6. Configure automatic security updates
echo 'Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "true";' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
echo 'Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot-Time "02:00";' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades

🎯 Production Success Metrics

Service Level Objectives (SLOs) Availability SLO: 99.9% uptime

• Measurement: HTTP 200 responses / Total HTTP requests
• Error Budget: 43.2 minutes downtime per month
• Alerting: Alert if availability drops below 99.5% over 1 hour

Latency SLO: 95% of requests < 500ms

• Measurement: Response time distribution
• Alerting: Alert if 95th percentile > 500ms for 5 minutes

Error Rate SLO: <0.1% error rate

• Measurement: HTTP 5xx responses / Total HTTP requests
• Alerting: Alert if error rate > 0.5% over 5 minutes

Security SLO: <10 authentication failures per day

• Measurement: Failed authentication attempts
• Alerting: Alert if >50 failures in 1 hour

Key Performance Indicators

Business Metrics: □ Total webhook events processed per day □ Notification delivery success rate (target: >99%) □ Average response time (target: <100ms) □ Cost per webhook processed □ Mean time to detection (MTTD) for issues □ Mean time to resolution (MTTR) for incidents □ Infrastructure utilization efficiency □ Customer satisfaction score

📞 Production Support

Incident Response Severity Levels: SEVERITY 1 - Critical (Service Down) Response Time: 15 minutes Resolution Time: 1 hour Actions: Immediate escalation, war room, customer communication

SEVERITY 2 - High (Degraded Performance) Response Time: 30 minutes Resolution Time: 4 hours Actions: Team lead notification, monitoring increase

SEVERITY 3 - Medium (Minor Issues) Response Time: 2 hours Resolution Time: 24 hours Actions: Standard troubleshooting, ticket tracking

SEVERITY 4 - Low (Enhancement Requests) Response Time: Next business day Resolution Time: Per roadmap Actions: Backlog prioritization

On-Call Procedures

24/7 Support Structure: Primary On-Call: Initial response and triage Secondary On-Call: Backup coverage and escalation Engineering Manager: Resource coordination Senior Leadership: Business impact decisions

Escalation Timeline:

• 15 minutes: Auto-escalate if no response
• 30 minutes: Escalate to secondary on-call
• 1 hour: Escalate to engineering manager
• 2 hours: Escalate to senior leadership
