Issues Resolved​

Issue Resolution Timeline​

All 7 deployment issues identified and resolved during iterative debugging:

1. Missing Celery Application Configuration​

Problem: Django project failed to start - Celery app not initialized

AttributeError: module 'coditect_license' has no attribute 'celery_app'

Root Cause: Missing Celery configuration module in Django project

Solution:

  • Created backend/coditect_license/celery.py with Celery app configuration
  • Added Celery import to backend/coditect_license/__init__.py
  • Configured autodiscovery of tasks from installed apps

Files Modified:

  • backend/coditect_license/celery.py (new file)
  • backend/coditect_license/__init__.py (added Celery import)

Verification: Django startup logs show "Celery application initialized"

2. Health Check Endpoint Missing​

Problem: Kubernetes liveness/readiness probes failing (404 Not Found on /health/)

readinessProbe failed: HTTP probe failed with statuscode: 404

Root Cause: No health check endpoint defined in Django URL configuration

Solution:

  • Added simple /health/ endpoint to urls.py returning {"status": "ok"}
  • Endpoint bypasses authentication (required for Kubernetes probes)
  • Added HTTPS redirect exemption for health checks in production settings

Files Modified:

  • backend/coditect_license/urls.py (added health_check view)
  • backend/coditect_license/settings.py (added SECURE_REDIRECT_EXEMPT for /health/)

Verification: curl http://pod-ip:8000/health/ returns 200 OK with JSON response

3. HTTPS Redirect Breaking Health Probes​

Problem: Health checks failing in production mode due to HTTPS redirect

SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT = True causing 301 redirect on /health/

Root Cause: Kubernetes probes use HTTP, but Django forces HTTPS redirect in production

Solution:

  • Added SECURE_REDIRECT_EXEMPT = [r'^health/$'] to settings.py
  • Exempts health check endpoint from HTTPS redirect while keeping security for API endpoints

Files Modified:

  • backend/coditect_license/settings.py (added SECURE_REDIRECT_EXEMPT)

Verification: Health probes now succeed without following redirects

4. Missing Celery Environment Variables​

Problem: Celery worker failing to connect to Redis broker

celery.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: CELERY_BROKER_URL not set

Root Cause: Deployment manifest missing CELERY_BROKER_URL environment variable

Solution:

  • Added CELERY_BROKER_URL to Celery worker deployment manifest
  • Sourced from same Redis secret as Django app
  • Aligned with settings.py configuration (CELERY_BROKER_URL = REDIS_URL)

Files Modified:

  • kubernetes/base/deployment.yaml (added CELERY_BROKER_URL to celery-worker env)

Verification: Celery worker logs show successful broker connection

5. Database Connection Configuration Mismatch​

Problem: Django unable to parse DATABASE_URL environment variable format

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Invalid DATABASE_URL format

Root Cause: Settings expecting individual DB variables, but deployment providing single URL

Solution:

  • Standardized on individual environment variables (DB_HOST, DB_PORT, DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD)
  • Updated ConfigMap to provide structured database configuration
  • Updated Secret for password storage
  • Settings.py already configured for this pattern

Files Modified:

  • kubernetes/base/configmap.yaml (added DB_HOST, DB_PORT, DB_NAME)
  • kubernetes/base/deployment.yaml (removed DATABASE_URL, using individual vars)

Verification: Django successfully connects to PostgreSQL at 10.67.0.3:5432

6. Redis URL Format Inconsistency​

Problem: Redis connection failing with protocol parsing error

redis.exceptions.ConnectionError: Invalid URL scheme

Root Cause: ConfigMap specified individual REDIS_HOST/PORT, but settings.py expects full REDIS_URL

Solution:

  • Standardized on REDIS_URL format: redis://host:port/db
  • Updated ConfigMap to provide full URL instead of separate host/port
  • Aligned with settings.py CACHES and CELERY_BROKER_URL configuration

Files Modified:

  • kubernetes/base/configmap.yaml (changed to REDIS_URL format)

Verification: Both Django cache and Celery worker connect to Redis successfully

7. Static Files Volume Mount Permissions​

Problem: Django unable to write to /app/staticfiles (read-only root filesystem)

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/app/staticfiles'

Root Cause: Security context enforces read-only root filesystem, but static files need write access

Solution:

  • Added emptyDir volume mount for /app/staticfiles
  • Volume is writable, allowing collectstatic to run
  • Root filesystem remains read-only for security

Files Modified:

  • kubernetes/base/deployment.yaml (added static volume and volumeMount)

Verification: Static files successfully collected on pod startup

Files Modified​

Backend Application Configuration​

backend/coditect_license/settings.py

  • Added SECURE_REDIRECT_EXEMPT = [r'^health/$'] for Kubernetes probes
  • Confirmed database configuration using individual env vars (DB_HOST, DB_PORT, etc.)
  • Confirmed Redis configuration using REDIS_URL format
  • Confirmed Celery configuration (CELERY_BROKER_URL = REDIS_URL)
  • Container detection via IN_CONTAINER environment variable for logging format

backend/coditect_license/celery.py (NEW FILE)

  • Created Celery application configuration
  • Namespace: CELERY_
  • Auto-discovery of tasks from installed Django apps
  • Debug task for testing Celery connectivity

backend/coditect_license/init.py

  • Added Celery app import: from .celery import app as celery_app
  • Ensures Celery initialized when Django starts

backend/coditect_license/urls.py

  • Added /health/ endpoint returning {"status": "ok"}
  • Simple JsonResponse for Kubernetes liveness/readiness probes

Kubernetes Manifests​

kubernetes/base/deployment.yaml

Lessons Learned​

Technical Insights​

  1. Always create health check endpoints early - Kubernetes probes are critical and should be the first endpoint implemented, not an afterthought.

  2. Celery requires explicit initialization - Django doesn't auto-discover Celery apps; must import in __init__.py.

  3. Security contexts complicate deployments - Read-only root filesystem requires explicit volume mounts for writable directories (/tmp, /staticfiles).

  4. Environment variable consistency is critical - Mismatches between settings.py expectations and Kubernetes ConfigMap formats cause runtime failures.

  5. HTTPS redirects break health probes - Kubernetes probes use HTTP; must exempt health endpoints from HTTPS redirect in production.

  6. Iterative debugging is efficient - Small, targeted changes per iteration (7 iterations in 2 hours) beats trying to fix everything at once.

Process Improvements​

  1. Test locally before deploying - Run docker run locally to catch configuration issues before pushing to GKE.

  2. Use meaningful image tags - Semantic versioning (v1.0.7) is clearer than git SHAs or "latest".

  3. Document each iteration - Keeping notes on each issue and resolution saves time when similar issues recur.

  4. Validate manifests before applying - kubectl apply --dry-run=client catches syntax errors early.

  5. Check pod logs immediately - kubectl logs <pod> reveals configuration issues faster than waiting for probes to fail.

Infrastructure Patterns​

  1. ConfigMaps for non-sensitive config - Database host, ports, feature flags
  2. Secrets for credentials - Database passwords, API keys, Django secret key
  3. EmptyDir volumes for writable space - /tmp, /staticfiles (on read-only filesystem)
  4. Private IPs for databases - Cloud SQL and Redis use VPC-internal IPs (10.x.x.x)
  5. Resource limits prevent resource exhaustion - Set CPU/memory limits on all containers

Conclusion​

This checkpoint represents TWO major milestones in the CODITECT License Management Platform deployment:

  1. Django Backend Deployment - v1.0.7 operational on GKE with all infrastructure components working
  2. Public HTTPS Endpoint - api.coditect.ai now live with Google-managed SSL certificate

92% completion of Backend MVP demonstrates substantial progress toward the December 30 public API target. The remaining 8% consists of the license API endpoints (acquire, heartbeat, release), Cloud KMS integration for signing, and JWT authentication.

Key Accomplishments (December 28):

  • 7 deployment issues resolved in iterative debugging
  • Ingress and SSL configured in single session
  • DNS propagation and certificate provisioning completed
  • Public endpoint verified: https://api.coditect.ai/health/ → 200 OK

Infrastructure is production-ready - GKE cluster, Cloud SQL, Redis, networking, and now Ingress/SSL are all operational. The foundation is solid for the final push to complete API availability.

Next checkpoint (December 30) will validate the complete license management flow: client → https://api.coditect.ai → Django → Redis → PostgreSQL → Cloud KMS → signed license → client.
