New Production Features - Implementation Guide

This guide shows how to use the new production-ready features added to your codebase.

---

🔧 1. HTTP Client with Timeouts

Location: pkg/httpclient/client.go

Before (Unsafe):

// services/external_service.go
resp, err := http.Get("https://external-api.com/data")
// This hangs forever if the API is slow!

After (Production-Safe):

import "fotbal-club/pkg/httpclient"

// For normal external APIs
client := httpclient.DefaultClient()
resp, err := client.Get("https://external-api.com/data")

// For fast internal APIs
fastClient := httpclient.FastClient()
resp, err := fastClient.Get("http://localhost:8081/cache")

// For slow APIs (AI, analytics)
slowClient := httpclient.SlowClient()
resp, err := slowClient.Post("https://api.openai.com/v1/completions", ...)

Update Existing Services:

// internal/services/umami_service.go
type UmamiService struct {
    client *http.Client  // Add this field
}

func NewUmamiService() *UmamiService {
    return &UmamiService{
        client: httpclient.DefaultClient(),  // Use this!
    }
}

func (s *UmamiService) GetStats() error {
    resp, err := s.client.Get(s.baseURL + "/stats")
    // ...
}

---

🛡️ 2. Circuit Breaker for External Services

Location: pkg/circuitbreaker/breaker.go

When to Use:

• External APIs that might fail
• FACR integration
• AI services (OpenRouter)
• Analytics services (Umami)
• Email services (SMTP)

Example: Protect FACR API Calls

// internal/services/facr_service.go
import "fotbal-club/pkg/circuitbreaker"

type FACRService struct {
    client  *http.Client
    breaker *circuitbreaker.CircuitBreaker
}

func NewFACRService() *FACRService {
    return &FACRService{
        client: httpclient.DefaultClient(),
        breaker: circuitbreaker.New(
            5,              // Open after 5 failures
            time.Minute*2,  // Wait 2 minutes before retry
        ),
    }
}

func (s *FACRService) GetClubData(clubID string) (*ClubData, error) {
    var data *ClubData
    
    err := s.breaker.Call(func() error {
        resp, err := s.client.Get(fmt.Sprintf("https://facr.cz/club/%s", clubID))
        if err != nil {
            return err
        }
        defer resp.Body.Close()
        
        if resp.StatusCode != 200 {
            return fmt.Errorf("FACR API returned %d", resp.StatusCode)
        }
        
        return json.NewDecoder(resp.Body).Decode(&data)
    })
    
    if err == circuitbreaker.ErrCircuitOpen {
        // Circuit is open - return cached data or graceful degradation
        return s.getCachedData(clubID)
    }
    
    return data, err
}

---

⏱️ 3. Database Context Timeouts

Location: internal/middleware/db_context.go

Setup in main.go:

// main.go - Add this middleware
r.Use(middleware.DBContext())

Use in Controllers:

// internal/controllers/article_controller.go
func (bc *BaseController) GetArticles(c *gin.Context) {
    // Get the timeout context
    ctx := middleware.GetDBContext(c)
    
    var articles []models.Article
    
    // Use WithContext to enforce timeout
    if err := bc.DB.WithContext(ctx).
        Where("published = ?", true).
        Order("published_at DESC").
        Limit(20).
        Find(&articles).Error; err != nil {
        
        if errors.Is(err, context.DeadlineExceeded) {
            c.JSON(http.StatusRequestTimeout, gin.H{
                "error": "Database query timeout",
            })
            return
        }
        
        c.JSON(http.StatusInternalServerError, gin.H{
            "error": "Database error",
        })
        return
    }
    
    c.JSON(http.StatusOK, articles)
}

Complex Queries with Longer Timeout:

// For heavy reports that need more time
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 30*time.Second)
defer cancel()

var stats AnalyticsStats
err := bc.DB.WithContext(ctx).Raw(`
    SELECT 
        COUNT(*) as total_articles,
        COUNT(DISTINCT user_id) as unique_authors,
        AVG(views) as avg_views
    FROM articles
    WHERE created_at >= NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days'
`).Scan(&stats).Error

---

📝 4. Production-Safe Frontend Logging

Location: frontend/src/utils/logger.ts

Before (Development Only):

// All these console.log statements show in production! 😱
console.log("User clicked button");
console.log("API response:", data);
console.error("Failed to load", error);

After (Production-Safe):

import logger from '@/utils/logger';

// Development only - hidden in production
logger.debug("User clicked button");
logger.info("API response:", data);

// Always shown - important for debugging
logger.warn("API slow response:", responseTime);
logger.error("Failed to load articles", error);  // Also tracked in analytics!

// Performance measurement
logger.time("ArticleList render");
// ... expensive operation ...
logger.timeEnd("ArticleList render");

Replace Existing console.log:

Quick Search & Replace:

# In frontend/src/
find . -type f -name "*.tsx" -exec sed -i 's/console\.log/logger.debug/g' {} +
find . -type f -name "*.ts" -exec sed -i 's/console\.log/logger.debug/g' {} +

Recommended Replacements:

// Debug/Development info
console.log() → logger.debug()
console.info() → logger.info()

// Warnings (always show)
console.warn() → logger.warn()

// Errors (always show + track)
console.error() → logger.error()

// Performance
console.time() → logger.time()
console.timeEnd() → logger.timeEnd()

---

📊 5. Database Performance Indexes

Location: database/migrations/000099_add_performance_indexes.up.sql

Apply the Indexes:

# Run migration
docker-compose run backend ./fotbal-club migrate

# Or manually
psql -U postgres -d fotbal_club -f database/migrations/000099_add_performance_indexes.up.sql

Verify Index Usage:

-- Check if indexes are being used
EXPLAIN ANALYZE 
SELECT * FROM articles 
WHERE published = true 
ORDER BY published_at DESC 
LIMIT 20;

-- Should show "Index Scan using idx_articles_published_at"

Monitor Index Performance:

-- Find unused indexes (consider removing)
SELECT schemaname, tablename, indexname, idx_scan
FROM pg_stat_user_indexes
WHERE idx_scan = 0
ORDER BY pg_relation_size(indexrelid) DESC;

-- Find most used indexes
SELECT schemaname, tablename, indexname, idx_scan
FROM pg_stat_user_indexes
ORDER BY idx_scan DESC
LIMIT 20;

---

🔍 6. Request ID Tracing

Already implemented in: internal/middleware/request_validation.go

In Controllers:

import "fotbal-club/internal/middleware"

func (bc *BaseController) SomeHandler(c *gin.Context) {
    requestID := middleware.GetRequestID(c)
    
    logger.Info("Processing request",
        "request_id", requestID,
        "path", c.Request.URL.Path,
    )
    
    // Include in error responses
    c.JSON(http.StatusInternalServerError, gin.H{
        "error": "Something went wrong",
        "request_id": requestID,  // User can report this!
    })
}

In Frontend (Error Reporting):

// services/api.ts
try {
    const response = await axios.get('/api/v1/articles');
    return response.data;
} catch (error) {
    const requestId = error.response?.headers['x-request-id'];
    
    logger.error("API Error", {
        message: error.message,
        requestId,
        endpoint: '/api/v1/articles'
    });
    
    // Show user-friendly error with trace ID
    toast.error(`Request failed. Trace ID: ${requestId}`);
}

---

🚨 7. Enhanced Error Recovery

Location: internal/middleware/recovery.go

Setup in main.go:

// main.go - Replace gin.Recovery() with custom recovery
r.Use(middleware.CustomRecovery())

Benefits:

• Stack trace logging
• Request ID in logs
• Structured error response
• Automatic panic recovery
• No server crash on errors

---

📈 8. Monitoring Integration

Prometheus Metrics:

// Add custom metrics in controllers
import "github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus"

var articlesCreated = prometheus.NewCounterVec(
    prometheus.CounterOpts{
        Name: "articles_created_total",
        Help: "Total number of articles created",
    },
    []string{"category"},
)

func init() {
    prometheus.MustRegister(articlesCreated)
}

func (bc *BaseController) CreateArticle(c *gin.Context) {
    // ... create article ...
    
    articlesCreated.WithLabelValues(article.Category).Inc()
}

Query Metrics:

# View metrics
curl http://localhost:8080/metrics | grep articles_created

# Prometheus query
rate(articles_created_total[5m])

---

🔄 9. Service Update Checklist

When updating an existing service, follow this checklist:

Example: Update FACR Service

// ✅ 1. Add HTTP client field
type FACRService struct {
    client  *http.Client  // New!
    breaker *circuitbreaker.CircuitBreaker  // New!
    db      *gorm.DB
    cache   *Cache
}

// ✅ 2. Initialize in constructor
func NewFACRService(db *gorm.DB) *FACRService {
    return &FACRService{
        client: httpclient.DefaultClient(),  // New!
        breaker: circuitbreaker.New(5, 2*time.Minute),  // New!
        db: db,
        cache: NewCache(),
    }
}

// ✅ 3. Use circuit breaker for external calls
func (s *FACRService) FetchData(url string) ([]byte, error) {
    var data []byte
    
    err := s.breaker.Call(func() error {
        resp, err := s.client.Get(url)  // Use client field!
        if err != nil {
            return err
        }
        defer resp.Body.Close()
        
        data, err = io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
        return err
    })
    
    if err == circuitbreaker.ErrCircuitOpen {
        // Return cached data
        return s.cache.Get(url)
    }
    
    return data, err
}

// ✅ 4. Use context for database queries
func (s *FACRService) SaveData(ctx context.Context, data *Data) error {
    return s.db.WithContext(ctx).Create(data).Error
}

🧪 Testing the Improvements

Test HTTP Client Timeout:

// test/http_client_test.go
func TestHTTPClientTimeout(t *testing.T) {
    // Start slow server
    server := httptest.NewServer(http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        time.Sleep(10 * time.Second)  // Longer than timeout
        w.WriteHeader(200)
    }))
    defer server.Close()
    
    client := httpclient.FastClient()  // 5s timeout
    
    start := time.Now()
    _, err := client.Get(server.URL)
    duration := time.Since(start)
    
    // Should timeout in ~5 seconds
    assert.Error(t, err)
    assert.True(t, duration < 6*time.Second)
}

Test Circuit Breaker:

func TestCircuitBreaker(t *testing.T) {
    breaker := circuitbreaker.New(3, time.Second)
    
    // Simulate 3 failures
    for i := 0; i < 3; i++ {
        err := breaker.Call(func() error {
            return fmt.Errorf("service unavailable")
        })
        assert.Error(t, err)
    }
    
    // 4th call should be rejected
    err := breaker.Call(func() error {
        return nil
    })
    assert.Equal(t, circuitbreaker.ErrCircuitOpen, err)
    
    // Wait for timeout
    time.Sleep(time.Second * 2)
    
    // Should allow retry
    err = breaker.Call(func() error {
        return nil
    })
    assert.NoError(t, err)
}

Test Database Timeout:

func TestDatabaseContextTimeout(t *testing.T) {
    ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 100*time.Millisecond)
    defer cancel()
    
    // Simulate slow query
    err := db.WithContext(ctx).Raw("SELECT pg_sleep(1)").Error
    
    assert.Error(t, err)
    assert.True(t, errors.Is(err, context.DeadlineExceeded))
}
