  • File operations: <50ms (OPFS cache)

Uptime:

  • Hybrid pods: 100% (since Phase 2 completion)
  • No restarts, no crashes
  • Health checks passing

Rollback Plan​

If Issues Detected Within 48 Hours​

Step 1: Switch Ingress Back to Standard

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"},
  {"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/rules/0/http/paths/1/backend/service/name", "value": "coditect-combined-service"},
  {"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/rules/1/http/paths/0/backend/service/name", "value": "coditect-combined-service"}
]'

Step 2: Wait 60 Seconds

  • Allow GCP load balancer to propagate changes

Step 3: Verify Standard Deployment

curl -I https://coditect.ai  # Should return 200 OK
kubectl get pods -n coditect-app -l app=coditect-combined

Step 4: Investigate Hybrid Issues

  • Check hybrid pod logs
  • Review PVC usage
  • Analyze performance metrics

Rollback Time: <2 minutes (Ingress switch + propagation)

Known Rollback Limitations​

PVC Data:

  • Hybrid PVCs retain user data (10 GB workspaces)
  • Standard PVCs unchanged (50 GB workspaces)
  • No data loss in either direction

Image Versions:

  • Both deployments use same image (Build #32: 8f28239a)
  • Rollback is routing change, not image downgrade

Next Steps​

Immediate (Next 24 Hours)​

1. Monitor Hybrid Deployment Stability

  • Check pod restarts every 6 hours
  • Monitor memory usage trends (<2 GB per pod)
  • Review logs for recurring errors
  • Validate WebSocket connections
  • Check workspace PVC usage (<8 GB, 80% of 10 GB)

2. Verify UI Changes in Production

  • Open https://coditect.ai in browser
  • Inspect Header height (should be 40px, not 56px)
  • Inspect Footer padding (should be py={2}, not py={4})
  • Measure IDE vertical space gain (~32px)

3. Address Extension Marketplace Rate Limiting

  • Research pre-bundling extensions in Docker image
  • Estimate image size increase (~500 MB for 20 extensions)
  • Test Dockerfile with bundled extensions
  • Update cloudbuild.yaml if needed

Short-Term (48-72 Hours)​

1. Phase 5: Standard Deployment Cleanup

  • Wait until 2025-10-31T06:08 UTC (48 hours after Phase 3)
  • Scale down standard StatefulSet to 0 replicas
  • Monitor for 24 hours (verify no traffic or errors)
  • Delete standard StatefulSet and Service
  • Schedule PVC deletion for 7 days later (2025-11-07)
