```
---
## 🛡️ Security Features
### 1. **Rate Limiting**
Protects against abuse with per-IP limits:
- **Demo mode** (no API key): 5 requests/hour per IP
- **Authenticated mode**: 50 requests/hour
Implemented with `slowapi`:
```python
@limiter.limit(settings.rate_limit_demo)
async def get_recommendation(request: Request, req: RecommendationRequest):
...
```
**Rate limit response:**
```json
{
"error": "Rate limit exceeded: 5 per 1 hour"
}
```
---
### 2. **Cost Controls**
Daily budget and query caps to prevent runaway costs:
```python
# In config.py
daily_budget_usd: float = 2.00
daily_query_cap: int = 100
```
**Budget exceeded response** (429):
```json
{
"detail": "Daily budget of $2.0 exceeded. Current cost: $2.15"
}
```
---
### 3. **Input Validation**
Pydantic automatically validates:
- Query length (10-1000 chars)
- Numeric ranges (DAU >= 0, budget >= 0)
- Required fields
**Validation error response** (422):
```json
{
"detail": [
{
"loc": ["body", "query"],
"msg": "ensure this value has at least 10 characters",
"type": "value_error.any_str.min_length"
}
]
}
```
---
### 4. **CORS**
CORS middleware enabled for browser access:
```python
app.add_middleware(
CORSMiddleware,
allow_origins=["*"], # Configure for production
allow_credentials=True,
allow_methods=["*"],
allow_headers=["*"],
)
```
---
## 📊 Observability
### 1. **Structured Logging**
All requests logged with correlation IDs:
```json
{
"event": "http_request",
"method": "POST",
"path": "/recommend",
"status_code": 200,
"duration_ms": 2340
}
```
### 2. **Request Tracking**
Every recommendation gets a unique correlation ID for tracing through all agents.
### 3. **Usage Monitoring**
Built-in metrics endpoint tracks:
- Total requests
- Token consumption
- Cost accumulation
- Budget remaining
---
## 🧪 Testing Results
All endpoints passed comprehensive testing:
```
✅ GET / - Root endpoint
✅ GET /health - Health check
✅ GET /metrics - Usage metrics
✅ POST /recommend - Tech stack recommendations
✅ Rate limiting - 5 requests/hour per IP
✅ Input validation - Pydantic schema enforcement
```
**Test Performance:**
- Root endpoint: < 10ms
- Health check: < 10ms
- Metrics: < 10ms
- Recommendation: 660ms (with orchestrator)
---
## 🚀 Running the API
### Local Development
```bash
cd /Users/admin/codeprojects/tech-stack-advisor
source .venv/bin/activate
# Run with uvicorn
python -m backend.src.api.main
# Or use uvicorn directly
uvicorn backend.src.api.main:app --reload --port 8000
```
Server starts on: `http://0.0.0.0:8000`
---
### Using Docker (Future)
```bash
# Build
docker build -t tech-stack-advisor .
# Run
docker run -p 8000:8000 \
-e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key \
-e QDRANT_URL=your-url \
tech-stack-advisor
```

## 📖 Interactive Documentation
FastAPI auto-generates interactive API docs:
- **Swagger UI**: http://localhost:8000/docs
- **ReDoc**: http://localhost:8000/redoc
Both provide:
- Request/response schemas
- Try-it-out functionality
- Model definitions
- Authentication flows (future)
---
## 🔧 Configuration
All configurable via environment variables (`.env`):
```bash
# API Settings
API_HOST=0.0.0.0
API_PORT=8000
ENVIRONMENT=development
LOG_LEVEL=INFO
# Rate Limiting
RATE_LIMIT_DEMO=5/hour
RATE_LIMIT_AUTHENTICATED=50/hour
DAILY_QUERY_CAP=100
# Cost Controls
DAILY_BUDGET_USD=2.00
ALERT_EMAIL=your-email@example.com
# External Services
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-xxxxx
QDRANT_URL=https://xxxxx.qdrant.io
QDRANT_API_KEY=xxxxx
```
---
## 📈 Performance Characteristics
### Latency
With real LLM calls (estimated):
- Parse query: 1-5ms
- Agent orchestration: 2-4 seconds
- Response formatting: 1-5ms
**Total: ~2-4 seconds per request**
### Throughput
Single instance:
- Rate limited to 5 req/hour (demo) or 50 req/hour (auth)
- Can handle ~200 req/hour without rate limiting
- Async processing allows concurrent requests
### Scalability
- **Horizontal**: Deploy multiple instances behind load balancer
- **Vertical**: Increase uvicorn workers
- **Caching**: Add Redis for repeated queries
---
## 🔮 Future Enhancements
### 1. **Authentication**
```python
from fastapi.security import HTTPBearer
security = HTTPBearer()
@app.post("/recommend")
async def get_recommendation(
credentials: HTTPAuthorizationCredentials = Depends(security)
):
# Verify API key
# Apply authenticated rate limit
```
### 2. **Response Caching**
```python
from fastapi_cache import FastAPICache
from fastapi_cache.backends.redis import RedisBackend
# Cache recommendations for 1 hour
@cache(expire=3600)
async def get_recommendation(...):
...
```
### 3. **Webhooks**
```python
@app.post("/recommend/async")
async def async_recommendation(
req: RecommendationRequest,
webhook_url: str
):
# Process in background
# POST result to webhook_url
```
### 4. **Streaming Responses**
```python
from fastapi.responses import StreamingResponse
@app.post("/recommend/stream")
async def stream_recommendation(...):
async def generate():
# Stream agent results as they complete
yield database_result
yield infrastructure_result
...
return StreamingResponse(generate())
```
### 5. **Prometheus Metrics** ✅ IMPLEMENTED
Prometheus metrics are now available via `/metrics/prometheus` endpoint!
See documentation above for all available metrics including:
- HTTP request metrics (counter, histogram)
- LLM usage and cost tracking
- Application-level metrics
For setup guide, see [GRAFANA_CLOUD_SETUP.md](./GRAFANA_CLOUD_SETUP.md)
