Error Handling Checklist

  • Shell script error handling:
    • All scripts use set -euo pipefail
    • Add proper error handling with trap handlers
    • Add retry logic with exponential backoff for transient failures
    • Add timeout handling for external calls
    • Add proper cleanup on exit (trap EXIT)
    • Add structured error messages with context
  • Docker health checks:
    • Improve health checks for all services (add proper endpoints)
    • Add startup probes (not just health checks)
    • Add readiness probes
    • Configure appropriate timeouts and retries
  • Docker Compose resilience:
    • Add restart policies (already: unless-stopped)
    • Add depends_on with condition: service_healthy
    • Add resource limits (CPU, memory limits)
    • Add health check intervals/timeouts appropriate for each service
  • Service-level resilience:
    • Add circuit breakers for external API calls
    • Add retry logic with exponential backoff for external calls
    • Add timeout configuration for all external calls
    • Add dead letter queue for failed operations
  • Error monitoring:
    • Structured error logging with context
    • Error rate alerting
    • Dead man's switch for critical services
  • Add error handling documentation to docs/ERROR_HANDLING.md
