## Prerequisites

Before verifying Epic 1, ensure you have:

1. **Docker and Docker Compose** installed
2. **PostgreSQL client** (optional, for direct database access)
3. **Go 1.24+** installed
4. **curl** or similar HTTP client for testing endpoints

## Setup Instructions

### 1. Start PostgreSQL Database

The project includes a `docker-compose.yml` file for easy database setup:

```bash
# Start PostgreSQL container
docker-compose up -d postgres

# Verify container is running
docker-compose ps

# Check database logs
docker-compose logs postgres
```

The database will be available at:
- **Host**: `localhost`
- **Port**: `5432`
- **Database**: `goplt`
- **User**: `goplt`
- **Password**: `goplt_password`

### 2. Configure Database Connection

Update `config/default.yaml` or set environment variable:

```bash
# Option 1: Edit config/default.yaml
# Set database.dsn to:
database:
  dsn: "postgres://goplt:goplt_password@localhost:5432/goplt?sslmode=disable"

# Option 2: Set environment variable
export DATABASE_DSN="postgres://goplt:goplt_password@localhost:5432/goplt?sslmode=disable"
```

### 3. Build and Run the Application

```bash
# Build the application
make build

# Or build directly
go build -o bin/platform ./cmd/platform

# Run the application
./bin/platform

# Or run directly
go run ./cmd/platform/main.go
```

The application will:
1. Load configuration
2. Initialize logger
3. Connect to database
4. Run migrations (create tables)
5. Start HTTP server on port 8080

## Verification Instructions

### 1. Verify Database Connection and Migrations

#### Option A: Using Application Logs

When you start the application, you should see:
- Database connection successful
- Migrations executed (tables created)

#### Option B: Using PostgreSQL Client

```bash
# Connect to database
docker exec -it goplt-postgres psql -U goplt -d goplt

# List tables (should see User, Role, Permission, AuditLog, etc.)
\dt

# Check a specific table structure
\d users
\d roles
\d permissions
\d audit_logs

# Exit psql
\q
```

#### Option C: Using SQL Query

```bash
# Execute SQL query
docker exec -it goplt-postgres psql -U goplt -d goplt -c "SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema = 'public';"

# Expected output should include:
# - users
# - roles
# - permissions
# - audit_logs
# - user_roles
# - role_permissions
```

### 2. Verify Health Endpoints

```bash
# Test liveness probe (should return 200)
curl http://localhost:8080/healthz

# Expected response:
# {"status":"healthy"}

# Test readiness probe (should return 200 if database is connected)
curl http://localhost:8080/ready

# Expected response:
# {"status":"healthy","components":[{"name":"database","status":"healthy"}]}

# If database is not connected, you'll see:
# {"status":"unhealthy","components":[{"name":"database","status":"unhealthy","error":"..."}]}
```

### 3. Verify Metrics Endpoint

```bash
# Get Prometheus metrics
curl http://localhost:8080/metrics

# Expected output should include:
# - http_request_duration_seconds
# - http_requests_total
# - http_errors_total
# - go_* (Go runtime metrics)
# - process_* (Process metrics)
```

### 4. Verify HTTP Server Functionality

```bash
# Make a request to trigger logging and metrics
curl -v http://localhost:8080/healthz

# Check application logs for:
# - Request ID in logs
# - Structured JSON logs
# - Request method, path, status, duration
```

### 5. Verify Error Handling

To test panic recovery and error bus:

```bash
# The error bus will capture any panics automatically
# Check logs for error bus messages when errors occur
```

### 6. Verify OpenTelemetry Tracing

#### Development Mode (stdout)

When `tracing.enabled: true` and `environment: development`, traces are exported to stdout:

```bash
# Start the application and make requests
curl http://localhost:8080/healthz

# Check application stdout for trace output
# Should see JSON trace spans with:
# - Trace ID
# - Span ID
# - Operation name
# - Attributes (method, path, status, etc.)
```

#### Verify Trace ID in Logs

```bash
# Make a request
curl http://localhost:8080/healthz

# Check application logs for trace_id and span_id fields
# Example log entry:
# {"level":"info","msg":"HTTP request","method":"GET","path":"/healthz","status":200,"trace_id":"...","span_id":"..."}
```

### 7. Verify Database Operations

#### Test Database Write

You can test database operations by creating a simple test script or using the database client directly. For now, verify that migrations worked (see Verification 1).

#### Test Database Health Check

```bash
# The /ready endpoint includes database health check
curl http://localhost:8080/ready

# If healthy, you'll see database component status: "healthy"
```

## Testing Database Specifically

### Direct Database Testing

1. **Connect to Database**:
```bash
docker exec -it goplt-postgres psql -U goplt -d goplt
```

2. **Verify Tables Exist**:
```sql
SELECT table_name 
FROM information_schema.tables 
WHERE table_schema = 'public' 
ORDER BY table_name;
```

3. **Check Table Structures**:
```sql
-- Check users table
\d users

-- Check relationships
\d user_roles
\d role_permissions
```

4. **Test Insert Operation** (manual test):
```sql
-- Note: Ent generates UUIDs, so we'd need to use the Ent client
-- This is just to verify the schema is correct
-- Actual inserts should be done through the application/Ent client
```

### Using Application to Test Database

The database is automatically tested through:
1. **Migrations**: Run on startup - if they succeed, schema is correct
2. **Health Check**: `/ready` endpoint tests database connectivity
3. **Connection Pool**: Database client manages connections automatically

## Docker Compose Commands

```bash
# Start database
docker-compose up -d postgres

# Stop database
docker-compose stop postgres

# Stop and remove containers
docker-compose down

# Stop and remove containers + volumes (WARNING: deletes data)
docker-compose down -v

# View database logs
docker-compose logs -f postgres

# Access database shell
docker exec -it goplt-postgres psql -U goplt -d goplt

# Check database health
docker-compose ps
```

## Common Issues and Solutions

### Issue: Database connection fails

**Symptoms**: Application fails to start, error about database connection

**Solutions**:
1. Ensure PostgreSQL container is running: `docker-compose ps`
2. Check database DSN in config: `postgres://goplt:goplt_password@localhost:5432/goplt?sslmode=disable`
3. Verify port 5432 is not in use: `lsof -i :5432`
4. Check database logs: `docker-compose logs postgres`

### Issue: Migrations fail

**Symptoms**: Error during startup about migrations

**Solutions**:
1. Ensure database is accessible
2. Check database user has proper permissions
3. Verify Ent schema is correct: `go generate ./internal/ent`
4. Check for existing tables that might conflict

### Issue: Health check fails

**Symptoms**: `/ready` endpoint returns unhealthy

**Solutions**:
1. Verify database connection
2. Check database health: `docker-compose ps`
3. Review application logs for specific error

### Issue: Metrics not appearing

**Symptoms**: `/metrics` endpoint is empty or missing metrics

**Solutions**:
1. Make some HTTP requests first (metrics are collected per request)
2. Verify Prometheus registry is initialized
3. Check middleware is registered correctly

### Issue: Traces not appearing

**Symptoms**: No trace output in logs

**Solutions**:
1. Verify `tracing.enabled: true` in config
2. Check environment is set correctly (development = stdout, production = OTLP)
3. Make HTTP requests to generate traces

## Expected Application Output

When running successfully, you should see logs like:

```json
{"level":"info","msg":"Application starting","component":"bootstrap"}
{"level":"info","msg":"Database migrations completed"}
{"level":"info","msg":"HTTP server listening","addr":"0.0.0.0:8080"}
```

When making requests:
```json
{"level":"info","msg":"HTTP request","method":"GET","path":"/healthz","status":200,"duration_ms":5,"request_id":"...","trace_id":"...","span_id":"..."}
```

## Next Steps

After verifying Epic 1:
1. All core infrastructure is in place
2. Database is ready for Epic 2 (Authentication & Authorization)
3. HTTP server is ready for API endpoints
4. Observability is ready for production monitoring

Proceed to [Epic 2](../epic2/README.md) to implement authentication and authorization features.
