# Run load tests
locust -f tests/load_test.py --host=http://localhost:8528 --headless \
  --users 50 --spawn-rate 5 --run-time 1m

Deployment Verification

Step 1: Environment Setup

# Generate secrets
./setup_env.sh

# Verify .env
cat .env | grep -v "#" | grep -v "^$"

# Generate TLS certificates (development)
./scripts/generate_certs.sh

# Initialize database
python init_db.py

Step 2: Start Services

# Start with Docker Compose
docker compose up -d

# Wait for services to be ready
sleep 10

# Check all services are running
docker compose ps

Step 3: Health Checks

# API health
curl http://localhost:8528/health

# Expected output:
# {"status":"healthy","version":"1.0.0",...}

# Redis health
redis-cli -a $(grep REDIS_PASSWORD .env | cut -d'=' -f2) ping

# Expected output: PONG

# Prometheus health
curl http://localhost:9090/-/healthy

# Grafana health
curl http://localhost:3000/api/health

Step 4: Authentication Flow

# 1. Login
TOKEN=$(curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8528/api/v1/auth/token \
  -d "username=testuser&password=testpass123" | jq -r '.access_token')

echo "Token: ${TOKEN:0:20}..."

# 2. Access protected endpoint
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  http://localhost:8528/api/v1/consciousness/state

# 3. Get user info
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  http://localhost:8528/api/v1/auth/me

Step 5: Rate Limiting

# Test rate limiting (should get 429 after limit)
for i in {1..150}; do
  curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" http://localhost:8528/
done | sort | uniq -c

# Expected: Mix of 200 and 429 responses

Step 6: Metrics & Monitoring

# Check Prometheus metrics
curl http://localhost:8528/metrics | grep sovereigncore

# Verify metrics are being collected
curl -s http://localhost:9090/api/v1/query?query=sovereigncore_requests_total | jq

# Check Grafana dashboards
open http://localhost:3000/dashboards

Step 7: Load Testing

# Run 1-minute load test
locust -f tests/load_test.py --host=http://localhost:8528 \
  --headless --users 50 --spawn-rate 5 --run-time 1m \
  --html load_test_report.html

# Review results
open load_test_report.html
