Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Backend won't start

# Check logs
kubectl logs -l app=backend -n pdf-analysis

# Verify secrets
kubectl get secrets -n pdf-analysis

WebSocket connection fails

# Check ingress configuration
kubectl describe ingress -n pdf-analysis

AI analysis fails

# Verify API key
echo $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

# Test API directly
curl https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages \
  -H "x-api-key: $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" \
  -H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
  -d '{"model":"claude-sonnet-4-20250514","max_tokens":10,"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"test"}]}'
