Executive Summary

The CODITECT ecosystem is a comprehensive cloud-native platform comprising 6 interconnected applications providing marketing, authentication, license management, cloud IDE development, and workflow analysis capabilities. All applications share a unified design system, authentication infrastructure, and are deployed on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).

Key Applications

Application	URL	Technology	Purpose	Status
Gateway Website	coditect.com	React 18 + Django	Marketing, auth, downloads	🚧 Planned
License Dashboard	app.coditect.ai	React 18 + Django	Customer self-service	🚧 Phase 2
Staff Admin	admin.coditect.ai	Django Admin	Internal operations	🚧 Phase 1
License API	api.coditect.ai	Django REST	License validation	🚧 Phase 1
Cloud IDE	coditect.ai	React 18 + Rust + Theia	AI-powered IDE	✅ Production

Technology Stack

Frontend: React 18 + Next.js 14

{
  "react": "^18.3.1",
  "next": "^14.0.0",
  "typescript": "^5.3.3",
  "tailwindcss": "^3.4.0",
  "@tanstack/react-query": "^5.18.0",
  "@radix-ui/react-*": "latest",
  "lucide-react": "^0.309.0",
  "framer-motion": "^10.16.0"
}

Why Next.js:

✅ Server-Side Rendering (SSR) for SEO optimization
✅ Static Site Generation (SSG) for marketing pages
✅ API Routes for backend integration
✅ Image optimization built-in
✅ Fast page loads (<2s first contentful paint)
✅ Excellent developer experience

Backend: Django 5.2.8

Django==5.2.8                    # Web framework
djangorestframework==3.16.1      # REST API
django-cors-headers==4.3.1       # CORS support
stripe==11.2.0                   # Payment processing
sendgrid==6.11.0                 # Email notifications
authlib==1.4.0                   # OAuth2 client
psycopg[binary]==3.2.13          # PostgreSQL adapter
redis==5.2.0                     # Caching + sessions
celery[redis]==5.4.0             # Async task queue

Why Django:

✅ Rapid development (built-in admin, ORM, auth)
✅ Security features (CSRF, XSS, SQL injection protection)
✅ Mature ecosystem (12+ years)
✅ Shares backend with License Platform (consistency)
✅ Excellent API support (Django REST Framework)

Integration Architecture

Stripe Payment Integration

Purpose: Process subscription payments and provision licenses automatically.

Flow:

User clicks "Buy Now" on coditect.com/pricing
Frontend creates Stripe Checkout session via backend API
User redirected to Stripe-hosted checkout page
User enters payment information
Stripe processes payment
Stripe sends webhook to backend: checkout.session.completed
Backend creates tenant + license in PostgreSQL
Backend sends confirmation email via SendGrid
User redirected to dashboard with active license

Webhook Endpoint:

Google Analytics Integration

Purpose: Track user behavior, conversions, and product usage.

Events to Track:

Marketing:
- Page views (all pages)
- CTA clicks ("Start Free Trial", "Buy Now")
- Download button clicks
- Video plays (demo videos)
Conversions:
- Account registration (email vs OAuth)
- License purchase (tier, seats, revenue)
- Application downloads (CLI, IDE)
Product Usage:
- Dashboard page views
- License acquisition attempts
- Active sessions (daily/weekly/monthly)
- Feature usage (IDE, AgentFlow)

Implementation (Next.js + Google Analytics 4):

// lib/analytics.ts
export const GA_TRACKING_ID = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_GA_ID

// Track page views
export const pageview = (url: string) => {
  if (typeof window !== 'undefined' && window.gtag) {
    window.gtag('config', GA_TRACKING_ID, {
      page_path: url,
    })
  }
}

// Track events
export const event = ({
  action,
  category,
  label,
  value,
}: {
  action: string
  category: string
  label: string
  value?: number
}) => {
  if (typeof window !== 'undefined' && window.gtag) {
    window.gtag('event', action, {
      event_category: category,
      event_label: label,
      value: value,
    })
  }
}

// Track conversions
export const trackConversion = (type: 'registration' | 'purchase', data: any) => {
  event({
    action: type,
    category: 'conversion',
    label: JSON.stringify(data),
  })
}

License Acquisition Flow

Detailed Sequence (CODITECT Client → API)

See Diagram 5: License Acquisition Flow above for complete visual representation.

Key Components:

Client SDK (Python, embedded in CODITECT CLI/IDE)
License API (api.coditect.ai - Django REST Framework)
Redis (Atomic seat counting via Lua scripts)
PostgreSQL (License records, active sessions)
Cloud KMS (RSA-4096 license signing)

Redis Lua Scripts (Atomic Operations)

acquire_seat.lua:

-- Atomically acquire a seat if available
-- KEYS[1] = seats:{tenant_id} (current seat count)
-- KEYS[2] = session:{session_id} (session data)
-- ARGV[1] = seats_total (license limit)
-- ARGV[2] = session_data (JSON serialized)
-- ARGV[3] = session_ttl (360 seconds = 6 minutes)

local seats_used = redis.call('GET', KEYS[1])
if seats_used == false then
  seats_used = 0
else
  seats_used = tonumber(seats_used)
end

local seats_total = tonumber(ARGV[1])

if seats_used >= seats_total then
  return redis.error_reply('NO_SEATS_AVAILABLE')
end

-- Increment seat count
redis.call('INCR', KEYS[1])

-- Store session with TTL
redis.call('SET', KEYS[2], ARGV[2])
redis.call('EXPIRE', KEYS[2], tonumber(ARGV[3]))

-- Return success
return {seats_used + 1, seats_total}

heartbeat.lua:

-- Extend session TTL (heartbeat)
-- KEYS[1] = session:{session_id}
-- ARGV[1] = session_ttl (360 seconds)

local exists = redis.call('EXISTS', KEYS[1])
if exists == 0 then
  return redis.error_reply('SESSION_NOT_FOUND')
end

redis.call('EXPIRE', KEYS[1], tonumber(ARGV[1]))
return redis.status_reply('OK')

release_seat.lua:

-- Release seat and delete session
-- KEYS[1] = seats:{tenant_id}
-- KEYS[2] = session:{session_id}

Security Architecture

Threat Model

Assets to Protect:

User credentials (passwords, OAuth tokens)
License keys and signatures
Payment information (Stripe)
Customer data (PII)
Session tokens (JWT)

Threats:

Unauthorized license access - Mitigated by JWT authentication + Cloud KMS signing
Seat limit bypass - Mitigated by atomic Redis operations (Lua scripts)
Data leakage between tenants - Mitigated by django-multitenant automatic filtering
Man-in-the-middle attacks - Mitigated by TLS 1.3 everywhere
DDoS attacks - Mitigated by Cloud Armor rate limiting

Deployment Process:

Deploy new version to "green" deployment
Test "green" deployment (smoke tests, health checks)
Switch service selector from "blue" to "green"
Monitor for errors (rollback if needed)
Scale down "blue" deployment after verification
Next deployment: reverse roles (green → blue)

Monitoring & Observability

Metrics (Prometheus)

Application Metrics:

# Django middleware for Prometheus metrics
from prometheus_client import Counter, Histogram, Gauge
import time

request_count = Counter(
    'http_requests_total',
    'Total HTTP requests',
    ['method', 'endpoint', 'status']
)

request_duration = Histogram(
    'http_request_duration_seconds',
    'HTTP request latency',
    ['method', 'endpoint']
)

active_sessions = Gauge(
    'license_active_sessions',
    'Number of active license sessions',
    ['tenant_id']
)

seats_used = Gauge(
    'license_seats_used',
    'Number of seats in use',
    ['tenant_id']
)

class PrometheusMiddleware:
    def __init__(self, get_response):
        self.get_response = get_response

    def __call__(self, request):
        start_time = time.time()

        response = self.get_response(request)

        duration = time.time() - start_time

        request_count.labels(
            method=request.method,
            endpoint=request.path,
            status=response.status_code
        ).inc()

        request_duration.labels(
            method=request.method,
            endpoint=request.path
        ).observe(duration)

        return response

Infrastructure Metrics:

GKE cluster resource utilization (CPU, memory, disk)
Pod count and status (running, pending, failed)
Ingress traffic (requests/sec, bandwidth)
Cloud SQL performance (connections, queries/sec, replication lag)
Redis performance (ops/sec, memory usage, hit rate)

Logging (Cloud Logging)

Structured JSON Logging:

# Django settings.py
LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'formatters': {
        'json': {
            '()': 'pythonjsonlogger.jsonlogger.JsonFormatter',
            'format': '%(asctime)s %(name)s %(levelname)s %(message)s'
        }
    },
    'handlers': {
        'console': {
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
            'formatter': 'json'
        }
    },
    'root': {
        'level': 'INFO',
        'handlers': ['console']
    },
    'loggers': {
        'django.request': {
            'level': 'INFO',
            'handlers': ['console'],
            'propagate': False
        },
        'apps.licensing': {
            'level': 'INFO',
            'handlers': ['console'],
            'propagate': False
        }
    }
}

Log Example:

{
  "timestamp": "2025-11-24T10:30:45Z",
  "level": "INFO",
  "logger": "apps.licensing",
  "message": "License acquired",
  "user_id": "user-uuid-1234",
  "tenant_id": "tenant-uuid-5678",
  "session_id": "sess-uuid-9012",
  "hardware_id": "abc123...",
  "ip_address": "203.0.113.42",
  "request_id": "req-uuid-3456"
}

Alerting (Cloud Monitoring)

Alert Policies:

High Error Rate (>5% in 5 minutes)
- Trigger: PagerDuty notification
- Runbook: Check application logs, rollback if needed
No Seats Available (sustained for 10+ minutes)
- Trigger: Email to admin
- Runbook: Contact customer to increase seat limit
Database Connection Pool Exhausted
- Trigger: PagerDuty notification
- Runbook: Scale up Cloud SQL connections, check for connection leaks
Pod Crash Loop (3+ restarts in 10 minutes)
- Trigger: PagerDuty notification
- Runbook: Check pod logs, investigate OOM or crash
SSL Certificate Expiry (<30 days remaining)
- Trigger: Email to admin
- Runbook: Renew certificate (auto-renewed by Google)

Dashboards (Grafana)

Gateway Website Dashboard:

Request rate (req/sec)
Error rate (%)
Response latency (p50, p95, p99)
Active users (sessions)
Stripe checkout conversion rate

License Platform Dashboard:

Active licenses (by tenant)
Seats used vs total (gauge)
License acquisition success rate
Heartbeat reliability
Session duration (histogram)

Infrastructure Dashboard:

GKE cluster health (node status, pod status)
Resource utilization (CPU, memory, disk)
Network traffic (ingress, egress)
Database performance (connections, queries/sec)
Redis performance (ops/sec, memory usage)

Disaster Recovery

Backup Strategy

Cloud SQL Automated Backups:

Frequency: Daily automated backups
Retention: 30 days
Point-in-Time Recovery: Up to 7 days (transaction logs)
Cross-Region Replication: Enabled (us-central1 → us-east1)

Redis RDB Snapshots:

Frequency: Every 6 hours
Retention: 7 days
Manual Snapshots: Before major deployments

FoundationDB Backups:

Frequency: Daily backups to Cloud Storage
Retention: 30 days
Tested Restoration: Monthly

Application Backups:

Git Repositories: GitHub (multiple copies)
Docker Images: GCR (immutable, retained indefinitely)
Kubernetes Manifests: Version-controlled in Git

Recovery Procedures

Scenario 1: Database Corruption

Stop application pods (prevent further writes)
Identify last known good backup
Restore Cloud SQL from backup snapshot
Verify data integrity
Restart application pods
Monitor for issues

RTO: 30 minutes RPO: 24 hours (daily backups)

Scenario 2: GKE Cluster Failure

Create new GKE cluster in different zone/region
Apply Kubernetes manifests from Git
Update DNS to point to new load balancer
Verify application health

RTO: 2 hours RPO: 0 (stateless applications)

Scenario 3: Region Failure

Promote Cloud SQL read replica to primary (us-east1)
Deploy application to backup GKE cluster (us-east1)
Update DNS to point to new region
Notify customers of temporary downtime

RTO: 4 hours RPO: < 1 hour (replication lag)

Testing

Disaster Recovery Drills:

Frequency: Quarterly
Scope: Full restoration from backups
Documentation: Runbooks updated after each drill
Verification: Application functionality tested end-to-end
