# Scaling And Multi-Host Deployment
## What Is Implemented
## Implemented Contract
The default installer now supports explicit same-host horizontal scaling:
GovOPlaN now supports a stateless application tier backed by logically shared
state services. The runtime roles are independently replaceable API, WebUI,
worker, and scheduler processes. Every replica in one installation must use the
same immutable release composition and the same:
- one HAProxy container accepts the published HTTP endpoint;
- one or more WebUI containers serve assets and proxy API requests;
- one or more API containers serve normal domain traffic;
- one or more Celery workers consume shared Redis queues;
- one migration job runs before replacement;
- exactly one Celery scheduler runs;
- PostgreSQL, Redis, and file storage are shared by every runtime replica.
- `GOVOPLAN_INSTALLATION_ID`;
- PostgreSQL database;
- Redis broker and coordination service;
- `MASTER_KEY_B64` and deployment secret references;
- enabled-module graph;
- S3-compatible object-storage namespace.
HAProxy discovers Compose replicas through Docker's internal DNS and performs
health-checked round-robin WebUI balancing and least-connection API balancing.
It does not mount the Docker socket. Replica counts live in
`installation.json`, so `configure`, `plan`, `apply`, and the receipt agree on
the desired topology.
The application tier must not use node-local durable business data in a
multi-host deployment. Files owns managed file metadata while Core provides the
storage-backend contract. Campaign build artifacts are stored under opaque
object keys and workers read those objects from the shared backend. Temporary
build and materialization directories may remain node-local because they are
discardable.
This is not multi-host scheduling. Docker Compose's bridge network belongs to
one Docker Engine. Adding a second machine requires an orchestrator or
deployment manager that can place equivalent role definitions on multiple
hosts.
Core validates three explicit state profiles:
## Recommended Topologies
| Profile | Supported shape | Storage rule |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `local` | One API and one worker process for development | Local filesystem permitted. |
| `host-shared` | Multiple processes on one Docker host | A shared host volume is permitted; PostgreSQL and Redis are required. |
| `shared` | Multiple independent hosts | PostgreSQL, Redis, and S3-compatible object storage are required. |
### One Host
`shared` also requires a stable installation identifier. Module package
mutation is blocked in this profile: build and verify a new immutable release,
then roll the complete cluster to it.
Use the generated Compose bundle:
## Same-Host Compose
The generated Compose bundle provides:
```text
client
-> external TLS proxy, when required
-> managed HAProxy
-> WebUI replica(s)
-> managed HAProxy API listener
-> API replica(s)
client -> TLS proxy -> HAProxy -> WebUI replicas -> HAProxy -> API replicas
API/worker/scheduler
-> PostgreSQL
-> Redis
-> local volume, managed Garage, or external S3
API/worker/scheduler -> PostgreSQL
-> Redis
-> local volume, managed Garage, or external S3
```
This improves concurrency and permits rolling process replacement, but the host
and every managed stateful component remain single failure domains. Two API
containers on one failed host do not provide host-level availability.
HAProxy discovers Compose replicas through Docker DNS and performs health-aware
balancing without mounting the Docker socket. This improves concurrency and
permits process replacement, but the Docker host and installer-managed stateful
services remain single failure domains. Generated Compose therefore declares
the `host-shared` state profile even when its shared storage happens to be an
external S3 service. Its API backend checks `/health/ready`, so drain or
coordination loss removes a replica from rotation. Container, load-balancer,
and Kubernetes probes send the configured public host explicitly, keeping
readiness compatible with strict trusted-host validation.
### Multiple Hosts
Managed Garage is a convenient single-node S3-compatible service. It is not a
multi-host storage cluster. Use an independently operated Garage cluster or
another S3-compatible service for the `shared` profile.
Use Kubernetes, Nomad, Docker Swarm, or another reviewed orchestrator. Do not
extend the Compose installer into a proprietary scheduler. The target topology
is:
## Kubernetes Export
```text
public TLS ingress/load balancer
-> WebUI replicas on at least two nodes
-> internal API service/load balancer
-> API replicas on at least two nodes
The deployment compiler exports a stateless Kubernetes runtime when PostgreSQL,
Redis, and S3 are all external:
queue-specific worker pools on worker nodes
one fenced scheduler
one fenced migration/deployment job
shared PostgreSQL
shared Redis
multi-node Garage or external S3
shared secret/config provider
central logs, metrics, and health alerts
```sh
python tools/deployment/govoplan-deploy.py render-kubernetes \
--directory /srv/govoplan/default \
--namespace govoplan \
--secret-name govoplan-runtime \
--tls-secret-name govoplan-tls \
--ingress-class-name nginx \
--output /srv/govoplan/default/kubernetes.json
```
All API and worker nodes must receive the same immutable software composition,
`MASTER_KEY_B64`, database URL, Redis URL, enabled-module graph, and object
storage binding. Node-local file storage is not valid in this topology.
The export contains a Namespace, tokenless ServiceAccount, non-secret
ConfigMap, API/WebUI/worker/scheduler Deployments, Services, Pod disruption
budgets, Ingress, and a release-specific migration Job. It deliberately emits
no Secret values, persistent volume, PostgreSQL, Redis, or object-store
deployment. Export is rejected unless both release images use immutable
`image@sha256:...` references.
## Adding Capacity
Create the named Secret through the cluster's secret-management path. The
command prints the exact required key contract. Review the generated
`FORWARDED_ALLOW_IPS` value and replace it with the exact ingress-proxy network
before production use.
### API And WebUI
The generated containers run as non-root with a read-only root filesystem and
an ephemeral `/tmp`. Runtime Deployments wait for the exact configured database
migration heads before starting. The API exposes `/health/ready`, which fails
while that API node is draining or cannot prove its runtime-coordination
heartbeat.
Increase API replicas for measured request concurrency, CPU saturation, or
latency after checking database load. Increase WebUI replicas for static asset
and proxy capacity. No sticky session should be required because durable
sessions and throttling use shared services, but this must remain covered by
multi-replica integration tests.
## Runtime Coordination
Every added API process also adds database connections. Set the application
pool size and the total replica ceiling against PostgreSQL's connection budget;
adding replicas can otherwise reduce throughput.
Each API and worker incarnation registers in PostgreSQL with its role, software
version, module-composition hash, queue set, and heartbeat. Ops shows active,
draining, stopped, and stale nodes and compares active counts with configured
replica expectations.
### Workers
An operator may request or cancel drain from Ops:
Workers are not placed behind a load balancer. They compete for jobs on shared
Redis queues. Add workers by queue and cap each pool according to the external
system it calls. SMTP, IMAP, directory, and connector jobs often reach provider
rate limits before CPU limits.
- API readiness becomes unavailable on the next heartbeat so the load balancer
stops assigning new requests.
- A worker stops consuming its configured queues and may finish work already
claimed by that process.
- A stale process incarnation cannot overwrite a replacement incarnation's
heartbeat.
- A coordination outage removes API readiness and cancels worker consumers;
the existing incarnation must heartbeat successfully before either resumes.
Use distinct pools when load warrants it:
Singleton work uses PostgreSQL-backed leases with monotonically increasing
fencing tokens. The generated scheduler runs Celery beat through
`govoplan_core.commands.fenced_run`; loss of its lease terminates the child and
returns a distinct failure code. A fenced business operation must validate the
same lease token immediately before committing its effect.
- mail send and Sent-folder append;
- notifications;
- calendar and connector synchronization;
- dataflow/workflow execution;
- reporting and export;
- platform events and default work.
## Release Ordering
Before stopping a worker, mark it draining, stop new claims, and let or safely
requeue active jobs. Worker registration and drain control remain part of the
larger platform scale-out story.
Use this order for every multi-replica rollout:
### Stateful Services
1. Verify immutable image identities, module composition, external state
reachability, backup evidence, and the generated plan.
2. Drain application replicas when the migration compatibility declaration
requires it.
3. Run the release-specific migration Job exactly once. PostgreSQL advisory
locking serializes all Core and module migration tasks across competing
deployment jobs.
4. Let runtime init containers run `wait_for_database`. They wait for exact
configured Alembic heads and never mutate schema.
5. Roll API, workers, scheduler, and WebUI using health-aware replacement.
6. Verify runtime composition, expected replica counts, queue consumers,
object-storage round trips, and recovery status in Ops.
- PostgreSQL needs backups, restore drills, connection limits, and an HA/failover
design appropriate to the service level.
- Redis needs persistence and, for high availability, a supported failover
topology. Queue loss is not equivalent to a harmless cache loss.
- Managed Garage from the Compose installer is single-node. For redundant
storage, deploy a multi-node Garage cluster separately and select external
`s3`, or use another compatible object store.
- The scheduler stays at one replica until distributed leader election or a
fenced lease is implemented.
- Migrations and module lifecycle mutations remain one-at-a-time operations.
Applying the complete generated manifest is fail-closed: runtime pods remain in
their init phase until the migration Job reaches the expected heads. A second
release may be submitted concurrently, but advisory locking prevents concurrent
schema mutation and each release has a distinct migration Job name.
## Promotion Path
## Storage Trust Boundary
1. Measure concurrent users, request latency, database query time, connection
use, queue age, worker saturation, storage latency, and external throttling.
2. Move files to managed Garage or external S3 before introducing independent
runtime hosts.
3. Keep PostgreSQL and Redis external to stateless runtime nodes, or deploy
their reviewed HA operators.
4. Publish immutable API/WebUI images and one versioned configuration/secret
contract.
5. Translate the generated role commands, environment allowlists, health
checks, and singleton constraints into the chosen orchestrator.
6. Put API and WebUI replicas behind health-aware services and a TLS ingress.
7. Add queue-specific workers with fixed upper bounds.
8. Prove replica loss, rolling replacement, job redelivery, session continuity,
migration exclusion, backup restore, and storage-node loss before claiming
high availability.
Installer-managed Garage uses its exact generated endpoint. An arbitrary
external S3 endpoint is accepted only when the deployment explicitly sets
`FILE_STORAGE_S3_ENDPOINT_TRUSTED=true`; that endpoint must be a clean HTTPS
origin without embedded credentials, query, fragment, or path. This is an
operator trust declaration, not a user-controlled connector bypass. Operators
remain responsible for DNS, certificate, network-egress, bucket-policy,
versioning, and lifecycle controls.
## Remaining Platform Work
## Capacity
The one-host installer does not yet provide:
- Scale API replicas only within the PostgreSQL connection budget.
- Scale workers by queue, with upper bounds based on external provider limits.
- Keep one fenced scheduler rather than load-balancing schedulers.
- Increase WebUI replicas for asset/proxy capacity.
- Measure request latency, database query time and locks, active connections,
queue age, retry rate, storage latency, and provider throttling before adding
replicas.
- a Kubernetes, Nomad, or Swarm deployment export/profile;
- distributed deployment locks and fenced scheduler leadership;
- worker registration, composition-skew reporting, and drain controls;
- managed PostgreSQL, Redis, or multi-node Garage high availability;
Workers compete for Redis-backed work and are not placed behind a load balancer.
SMTP, IMAP, directory, connector, workflow, dataflow, and reporting queues often
hit external-system limits before host CPU is exhausted.
## What This Does Not Claim
The implemented contract provides stateless runtime placement, shared artifact
access, node visibility, drain controls, migration serialization, and scheduler
fencing. It does not by itself provide:
- a highly available PostgreSQL, Redis, or object-store deployment;
- automatic PostgreSQL backup, point-in-time recovery, or restore verification;
- autoscaling policy;
- managed TLS certificate issuance and renewal;
- measured multi-replica and failover integration evidence.
- central logs, metrics, traces, or alert routing;
- managed ingress certificates;
- automatic reconciliation of every possible module side effect;
- a service-level availability guarantee.
These are separate production capabilities. The local load balancer and
replica model provide the contract they should implement, but they do not by
themselves make a cluster highly available.
Those are deployment and module-adoption requirements. Before claiming high
availability, drill replica loss, rolling replacement, session continuity, job
redelivery, scheduler failover, migration exclusion, object-store outage, and a
coordinated database/object/key restore. Recovery rules and evidence are
defined in [Recovery And Rollback Guarantees](RECOVERY_AND_ROLLBACK_GUARANTEES.md).
