Risk Management
High-Priority Risks
| Risk | Impact | Probability | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Database performance at scale | High | Medium | Load testing, query optimization early, connection pooling |
| Multi-tenant isolation failures | Critical | Low | Security audit, integration tests, code review |
| API backward compatibility | Medium | Medium | Versioning strategy, deprecation warnings |
| Dependency vulnerabilities | Medium | Medium | Automated vulnerability scanning, regular updates |
| Deployment automation failures | High | Low | CI/CD testing, staged rollouts, rollback procedures |
Mitigation Strategies
- Regular Code Reviews: All changes reviewed before merge
- Security Audits: External audit before beta launch
- Load Testing: Monthly performance benchmarking
- Dependency Management: Automated vulnerability scanning
- Runbooks: Comprehensive operations documentation
- Incident Response: Defined procedures and escalation

Blockers and Resolutions
| Blocker | Impact | Status | Resolution | ETA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deployment timeout | Medium | 🔴 Active | Investigate pod logs, fix health checks | 1 hour |
| SendGrid account | Low | ⏸️ Pending | Create account, get API key | 15 min |
| Stripe account | Low | ⏸️ Pending | Create test account, get keys | 15 min |
| Firebase setup | Medium | ⏸️ Pending | Configure project, enable Auth | 30 min |
Resolution Steps:
Blocker 1: Deployment Timeout
# Step 1: Check current deployment status
kubectl get deployment coditect-backend -n coditect-staging
# Step 2: Check pod status and errors
kubectl get pods -n coditect-staging
kubectl logs -n coditect-staging -l app=coditect-backend --tail=100
# Step 3: Check events
kubectl describe deployment coditect-backend -n coditect-staging
# Step 4: Common fixes
# - Increase health check initial delay (startupProbe)
# - Fix application startup issues
# - Verify database connectivity
# - Check environment variables
# Step 5: Rollback if needed
kubectl rollout undo deployment/coditect-backend -n coditect-staging
Blocker 2-4: Service Setup
- Follow "Development Environment Setup" section above
- All services have free tiers sufficient for development
- Total setup time: ~1 hour
This Week's Success Metrics
Technical Metrics:
- Deployment stable (2/2 pods running)
- Users table created and migrated
- POST /api/v1/auth/register endpoint returning HTTP 201
- Email verification working (can click link and verify)
- Password reset working (can receive email and reset)
- Firebase Auth integrated (JWT tokens generated)
- Unit tests passing (>80% coverage for auth module)
Business Metrics:
- Can register a user end-to-end
- Email verification flow tested with real email
- Password reset tested with real email
- Authentication flow documented
Quality Metrics:
- Code reviewed by at least 1 person
- No critical security vulnerabilities (bcrypt for passwords, JWT for tokens)
- API endpoints documented in OpenAPI spec
- Error handling tested (duplicate email, invalid token, etc.)
Risk Management This Week
High-Risk Items:
-
Email delivery reliability - SendGrid may have delays or bounce issues
- Mitigation: Test with multiple email providers
- Fallback: Use mailgun as backup
-
Firebase integration complexity - May take longer than expected
- Mitigation: Use Firebase Admin SDK examples
- Fallback: Use simple JWT without Firebase initially
-
Time estimation accuracy - First commercial flow implementation
- Mitigation: Track actual time vs. estimated daily
- Adjustment: Increase estimates by 1.5x for Week 2 if needed
Medium-Risk Items:
- Database migration issues - Existing data may conflict
- Unit test coverage - May need more time for edge cases
- Documentation completeness - May rush at end of week
