Objective: Switch production traffic from standard to hybrid service

Commands Executed:

# Update coditect.ai paths (2 paths: /api/v5 and /)
kubectl patch ingress coditect-production-ingress -n coditect-app --type=json -p='[
{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/rules/0/http/paths/0/backend/service/name", "value": "coditect-combined-service-hybrid"},
{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/rules/0/http/paths/1/backend/service/name", "value": "coditect-combined-service-hybrid"}
]'

# Update www.coditect.ai path
kubectl patch ingress coditect-production-ingress -n coditect-app --type=json -p='[
{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/rules/1/http/paths/0/backend/service/name", "value": "coditect-combined-service-hybrid"}
]'

# Wait for GCP load balancer propagation
sleep 60

Verification:

# Test frontend
curl -I https://coditect.ai
# Result: HTTP/2 200 OK

# Test theia IDE
curl -I https://coditect.ai/theia
# Result: HTTP/2 200 OK

# Check backend health
kubectl describe ingress coditect-production-ingress -n coditect-app | grep -A 10 "Backends"
# Result: All backends HEALTHY

Downtime: <30 seconds (Ingress propagation only)

Status: ✅ COMPLETE

Phase 4: Verify Production Traffic (Completed 2025-10-29 06:08 UTC)

Verification Checklist:

  • ✅ Hybrid pods receiving traffic (confirmed via logs)
  • https://coditect.ai responding (200 OK)
  • https://coditect.ai/theia loading theia IDE
  • https://api.coditect.ai/health responding
  • ✅ WebSocket connections working
  • ✅ Pod resource usage normal (<1 GB RAM, <1 CPU)
  • ✅ No errors in pod logs
  • ✅ Ingress backends show HEALTHY
  • ✅ Session affinity working (sticky sessions)

Status: ✅ COMPLETE

Phase 5: Cleanup Old Standard Deployment (PENDING - Wait 48h)

⚠️ DO NOT RUN IMMEDIATELY - Wait 24-48 hours for stability validation

Recommended Timeline:

  • 24 hours (2025-10-30 06:08 UTC): Check for pod restarts, memory leaks, errors
  • 48 hours (2025-10-31 06:08 UTC): If stable, scale down standard deployment
  • 7 days (2025-11-05 06:08 UTC): Delete standard PVCs (point of no return)

Cleanup Commands (to run after 48h):

# Scale down standard deployment (keeps PVCs for safety)
kubectl scale statefulset/coditect-combined --replicas=0 -n coditect-app

# After 48 hours of stable hybrid operation:

# Delete standard StatefulSet (keeps PVCs for recovery)
kubectl delete statefulset/coditect-combined -n coditect-app

# Delete standard service
kubectl delete service/coditect-combined-service -n coditect-app

# After 7 days, delete PVCs (point of no return)
kubectl delete pvc workspace-coditect-combined-0 -n coditect-app
kubectl delete pvc workspace-coditect-combined-1 -n coditect-app
kubectl delete pvc workspace-coditect-combined-2 -n coditect-app
kubectl delete pvc theia-config-coditect-combined-0 -n coditect-app
kubectl delete pvc theia-config-coditect-combined-1 -n coditect-app
kubectl delete pvc theia-config-coditect-combined-2 -n coditect-app

Status: ⏳ PENDING (Current uptime: 30 minutes)

Rollback Plan (If Issues Occur)

Quick Rollback (Ingress Only) - <2 Minutes:

# Switch Ingress back to standard service
kubectl patch ingress coditect-production-ingress -n coditect-app --type='json' \
-p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/rules/0/http/paths/0/backend/service/name", "value": "coditect-combined-service"}]'

# Verify
kubectl describe ingress coditect-production-ingress -n coditect-app

Full Rollback (Scale Up Standard) - 2-3 Minutes:

# If standard was scaled down
kubectl scale statefulset/coditect-combined --replicas=3 -n coditect-app

# Wait for pods ready
kubectl rollout status statefulset/coditect-combined -n coditect-app

# Switch Ingress back
kubectl patch ingress coditect-production-ingress -n coditect-app --type='json' \
-p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/rules/0/http/paths/0/backend/service/name", "value": "coditect-combined-service"}]'

Risk Level: ✅ VERY LOW Confidence: HIGH (Standard deployment still available with 2/3 pods ready)


Monitoring & Validation

24-Hour Post-Migration Checklist

Metrics to Monitor (Until 2025-10-30 06:08 UTC):

  • No pod restarts (check every 6 hours)
  • Memory usage stable (<2GB per pod)
  • No CrashLoopBackOff
  • Logs clean (no recurring errors)
  • Performance normal (response times <500ms)
  • WebSocket connections stable
  • User workspace usage <5GB (monitor df -h /workspace)

Commands for Monitoring:

# Check pod status
kubectl get pods -n coditect-app -l app=coditect-combined-hybrid

# Check resource usage
kubectl top pods -n coditect-app -l app=coditect-combined-hybrid

# Check logs for errors
kubectl logs -f coditect-combined-hybrid-0 -n coditect-app --tail=100

# Check PVC usage
kubectl exec coditect-combined-hybrid-0 -n coditect-app -- df -h /workspace

# Check pod events
kubectl get events -n coditect-app --sort-by='.lastTimestamp' | grep hybrid | tail -20

Alert Thresholds:

  • ⚠️ Memory >1.5GB → Investigate
  • ⚠️ Disk usage >8GB (80%) → Expand PVC to 20GB
  • 🚨 Pod restarts >3 in 24h → Consider rollback
  • 🚨 Errors in logs (recurring) → Investigate immediately
