Deployment Guide

This guide outlines the steps to deploy the YouTube Transcript Summarizer.

Prerequisites

• Docker and Docker Compose installed on the host machine
• Access to a PostgreSQL database
• OpenAI API key
• YouTube Data API key

Deployment Steps

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/yourusername/yt-transcript-summarizer.git cd yt-transcript-summarizer

2. Set up environment variables:
   • Copy .env.example to .env
   • Fill in all required variables in .env

3. Build Docker images: docker-compose build

4. Start the services: docker-compose up -d

5. Run database migrations: docker-compose exec fastapi alembic upgrade head

6. Access the API: The API will be available at http://localhost:8000

Monitoring and Maintenance

• Logs can be viewed using: docker-compose logs

• To update the application: git pull docker-compose build docker-compose up -d

• Database backups should be performed regularly

Scaling

For increased load, consider:

• Using a production-grade WSGI server like Gunicorn
• Implementing a load balancer
• Scaling the database (e.g., read replicas, sharding)

Security Considerations

• Keep all API keys and secrets secure
• Regularly update dependencies
• Use HTTPS in production
• Implement rate limiting and other API security measures
