## Integration Features

### ✅ Automatic Fallback
- Node.js tries Python service first
- Automatically falls back to SQL if Python unavailable
- No breaking changes to existing functionality
- Seamless transition

### ✅ Health Monitoring
- Periodic health checks (every 60 seconds)
- Health endpoint shows both services
- Logs service status
- Graceful degradation

### ✅ Logging & Observability
- Source tracking (Python vs SQL)
- Response time logging
- Error tracking with context
- Service status monitoring

### ✅ Error Handling
- Comprehensive error handling
- Meaningful error messages
- Automatic retry logic
- Graceful error recovery

## Quick Start

### 1. Start Python Service

```bash
cd backend/python_service
pip install -r requirements.txt
uvicorn main:app --reload --port 8010
```

### 2. Start Node.js Backend

```bash
cd backend
npm install
npm run dev
```

### 3. Verify Integration

```bash
# Check health
curl http://localhost:3010/health

# Test options flow (will use Python if available)
curl "http://localhost:3010/api/options/flow?startDate=2024-01-01&endDate=2024-01-02"
```

## Configuration

### Environment Variables

**Node.js (.env in `backend/`):**
```env
# Python Service Configuration
PYTHON_SERVICE_URL=http://localhost:8010
USE_PYTHON_SERVICE=true  # Set to 'false' to disable

# Database (existing)
DATABASE_URL=...
# or
USE_LOCAL_DB=true
LOCAL_DB_HOST=localhost
# etc.
```

**Python Service (.env in `backend/python_service/`):**
```env
# Database Configuration
USE_LOCAL_DB=true
LOCAL_DB_HOST=localhost
LOCAL_DB_PORT=5432
LOCAL_DB_USER=postgres
LOCAL_DB_PASSWORD=postgres
LOCAL_DB_NAME=institutional_trader

# Or use DATABASE_URL
# DATABASE_URL=postgresql://...
```

## Health Endpoint

The health endpoint now reports status of all services:

```json
{
  "status": "healthy",
  "services": {
    "database": "connected",
    "pythonService": {
      "available": true,
      "lastCheck": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z",
      "status": "healthy"
    }
  },
  "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z"
}
```

## Monitoring

### Service Status Logs

Node.js logs show which service is being used:
- `✅ Using Python service: 150 rows` - Python service used
- `📊 Using SQL query (fallback or Python disabled)` - SQL fallback used
- `⚠️ Python service unavailable, falling back to SQL` - Automatic fallback

### Health Check Logs

Periodic health checks log status:
- `✅ Python service is healthy` - Service is up
- `⚠️ Python service health check failed` - Service is down
- `❌ Python service health check error: ...` - Connection error

## Features

### 1. Automatic Service Selection
- Python service used when available
- SQL fallback when Python unavailable
- No manual intervention needed

### 2. Source Tracking
- Response metadata includes source (`python` or `sql`)
- Helps with debugging and monitoring
- Useful for performance analysis

### 3. Graceful Degradation
- System continues working if Python service fails
- No single point of failure
- Automatic recovery when service comes back

### 4. Performance Monitoring
- Response time logging
- Row count tracking
- Service usage statistics

## Testing

### Manual Testing

1. **Test with Python service:**
   ```bash
   # Start Python service
   cd backend/python_service && uvicorn main:app --port 8010
   
   # Test endpoint
   curl "http://localhost:3010/api/options/flow"
   # Should see: "✅ Using Python service"
   ```

2. **Test fallback:**
   ```bash
   # Stop Python service (Ctrl+C)
   # Test endpoint again
   curl "http://localhost:3010/api/options/flow"
   # Should see: "📊 Using SQL query (fallback)"
   ```

3. **Test health endpoint:**
   ```bash
   curl http://localhost:3010/health
   # Should show Python service status
   ```

### Validation

Run the validation script to compare outputs:

```bash
cd backend/python_service
python scripts/validate_against_sql.py
```

## Deployment

### Development
- Both services run locally
- Hot reload enabled
- Debug logging active

### Production
- Use process managers (PM2, systemd, etc.)
- Set up monitoring and alerts
- Configure proper logging
- Use environment-specific configs

### Docker (Optional)

You can containerize both services:

```dockerfile
# Dockerfile.python
FROM python:3.11
WORKDIR /app
COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
COPY . .
CMD ["uvicorn", "main:app", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "8010"]
```

```dockerfile
# Dockerfile.node
FROM node:18
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm install
COPY . .
CMD ["npm", "start"]
```

## Troubleshooting

### Python Service Not Starting
1. Check database credentials
2. Verify port 8010 is available
3. Check Python dependencies
4. Review service logs

### Node.js Can't Connect
1. Verify `PYTHON_SERVICE_URL` is correct
2. Check Python service is running
3. Review network/firewall settings
4. Check health endpoint

### Performance Issues
1. Monitor response times
2. Check database query performance
3. Review Python service logs
4. Consider caching strategies

## Next Steps

1. ✅ Integration complete
2. ⏳ Add unit tests
3. ⏳ Set up CI/CD
4. ⏳ Add performance monitoring
5. ⏳ Migrate additional SQL scripts
6. ⏳ Add caching layer
7. ⏳ Production deployment

## Support

For issues:
1. Check service logs
2. Verify environment configuration
3. Test services independently
4. Review health endpoints
5. Check validation reports
