# Phase 8: Post-Launch Monitoring & Iteration - Implementation Summary

## Overview

Phase 8 establishes comprehensive monitoring, analytics, and rapid iteration infrastructure to enable data-driven product decisions post-launch. This phase focuses on tracking key metrics, gathering user feedback, and implementing systems for continuous improvement.

---

## Completed Implementation

### ✅ 1. Analytics Tracking Infrastructure

**File Created**: `src/common/services/analytics.service.ts`

**Features**:
- Comprehensive event tracking system with 25+ predefined events
- Multi-provider support (PostHog, Matomo, Mixpanel)
- User identification and property management
- Feature usage tracking
- Conversion funnel tracking
- Retention metric tracking

**Event Categories**:
```typescript
- User lifecycle (registration, login, onboarding)
- Family management (invites, joins)
- Child management (add, update, remove)
- Activity tracking (logged, edited, deleted, voice input)
- AI assistant (chat started, messages, conversations)
- Analytics (insights viewed, reports generated/exported)
- Premium (trial, subscription, cancellation)
- Engagement (notifications, sharing, feedback)
- Errors (errors occurred, API errors, offline mode, sync failures)
```

**Key Methods**:
```typescript
- trackEvent(eventData)              // Track any analytics event
- identifyUser(userProperties)       // Set user properties
- trackPageView(userId, path)        // Track page/screen views
- trackFeatureUsage(userId, feature) // Track feature adoption
- trackFunnelStep(...)               // Track conversion funnels
- trackRetention(userId, cohort)     // Track retention metrics
```

**Provider Integration**:
- PostHog (primary)
- Matomo (privacy-focused alternative)
- Mixpanel (extensible for future)

---

### ✅ 2. Feature Flag System for Rapid Iteration

**File Created**: `src/common/services/feature-flags.service.ts`

**Features**:
- 20+ predefined feature flags across categories
- Gradual rollout with percentage-based distribution
- User/family-level allowlists
- Platform-specific flags (web, iOS, Android)
- Version-based gating
- Time-based activation/deactivation
- A/B test variant assignment

**Flag Categories**:

**Core Features**:
- AI Assistant
- Voice Input
- Pattern Recognition
- Predictions

**Premium Features**:
- Advanced Analytics
- Family Sharing
- Export Reports
- Custom Milestones

**Experimental Features**:
- AI GPT-5 (10% rollout)
- Sleep Coach (in development)
- Meal Planner (planned)
- Community Forums (planned)

**A/B Tests**:
- New Onboarding Flow (50% split)
- Redesigned Dashboard (25% rollout)
- Gamification (disabled)

**Performance Optimizations**:
- Lazy Loading
- Image Optimization
- Caching V2 (75% rollout)

**Mobile-Specific**:
- Offline Mode
- Push Notifications
- Biometric Auth (requires v1.1.0+)

**Key Methods**:
```typescript
- isEnabled(flag, context)           // Check if flag is enabled for user
- getEnabledFlags(context)           // Get all enabled flags
- overrideFlag(flag, enabled, userId)// Override for testing
- getVariant(flag, userId, variants) // Get A/B test variant
```

**Rollout Strategy**:
```typescript
// Consistent user assignment via hashing
// Example: 10% rollout for AI GPT-5
const userHash = this.hashUserId(userId);
const threshold = (0.10) * 0xffffffff;
return userHash <= threshold; // Same user always gets same variant
```

### ✅ 3. Health Check & Uptime Monitoring

**Files Created**:
- `src/common/services/health-check.service.ts`
- `src/common/controllers/health.controller.ts`

**Endpoints**:
```
GET /health          - Simple health check for load balancers
GET /health/status   - Detailed service status
GET /health/metrics  - Performance metrics
```

**Service Checks**:
```typescript
services: {
  database: {              // PostgreSQL connectivity
    status: 'up' | 'down' | 'degraded',
    responseTime: number,
    lastCheck: Date,
  },
  redis: {                 // Cache availability
    status: 'up' | 'down',
    responseTime: number,
  },
  mongodb: {               // AI chat storage
    status: 'up' | 'down',
    responseTime: number,
  },
  openai: {                // AI service (non-critical)
    status: 'up' | 'degraded',
    responseTime: number,
  },
}
```

**Performance Metrics**:
```typescript
metrics: {
  memoryUsage: {
    total: number,
    used: number,
    percentUsed: number,
  },
  requestsPerMinute: number,
  averageResponseTime: number,
  p95ResponseTime: number,    // 95th percentile
  p99ResponseTime: number,    // 99th percentile
}
```

**Overall Status Determination**:
- **Healthy**: All services up
- **Degraded**: Optional services down (e.g., OpenAI)
- **Unhealthy**: Critical services down (database, redis)

## Integration Points

### Backend Integration

**1. Add to App Module**
```typescript
// src/app.module.ts
import { AnalyticsService } from './common/services/analytics.service';
import { FeatureFlagsService } from './common/services/feature-flags.service';
import { HealthCheckService } from './common/services/health-check.service';
import { HealthController } from './common/controllers/health.controller';

@Module({
  controllers: [HealthController, /* other controllers */],
  providers: [
    AnalyticsService,
    FeatureFlagsService,
    HealthCheckService,
    /* other providers */
  ],
  exports: [AnalyticsService, FeatureFlagsService],
})
export class AppModule {}
```

**2. Track Events in Services**
```typescript
// Example: Track activity creation
import { AnalyticsService, AnalyticsEvent } from './common/services/analytics.service';

@Injectable()
export class TrackingService {
  constructor(private analyticsService: AnalyticsService) {}

  async create(userId: string, childId: string, dto: CreateActivityDto) {
    const activity = await this.activityRepository.save(/* ... */);

    // Track event
    await this.analyticsService.trackEvent({
      event: AnalyticsEvent.ACTIVITY_LOGGED,
      userId,
      timestamp: new Date(),
      properties: {
        activityType: dto.type,
        method: 'manual', // or 'voice'
        childId,
      },
    });

    return activity;
  }
}
```

**3. Use Feature Flags**
```typescript
// Example: Check if feature is enabled
import { FeatureFlagsService, FeatureFlag } from './common/services/feature-flags.service';

@Injectable()
export class AIService {
  constructor(private featureFlags: FeatureFlagsService) {}

  async chat(userId: string, message: string) {
    const useGPT5 = this.featureFlags.isEnabled(
      FeatureFlag.AI_GPT5,
      { userId, platform: 'web' }
    );

    const model = useGPT5 ? 'gpt-5-mini' : 'gpt-4o-mini';
    // Use appropriate model
  }
}
```

**4. Expose Feature Flags to Frontend**
```typescript
// Add endpoint to return enabled flags for user
@Controller('api/v1/feature-flags')
export class FeatureFlagsController {
  constructor(private featureFlags: FeatureFlagsService) {}

  @Get()
  @UseGuards(JwtAuthGuard)
  async getEnabledFlags(@CurrentUser() user: User) {
    const context = {
      userId: user.id,
      familyId: user.familyId,
      platform: 'web', // Or get from request headers
      isPremium: user.subscription?.isPremium || false,
    };

    const enabledFlags = this.featureFlags.getEnabledFlags(context);

    return {
      flags: enabledFlags,
      context,
    };
  }
}
```

### Frontend Integration

**1. Feature Flag Hook (React)**
```typescript
// hooks/useFeatureFlag.ts
import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';

export function useFeatureFlag(flag: string): boolean {
  const [isEnabled, setIsEnabled] = useState(false);

  useEffect(() => {
    fetch('/api/v1/feature-flags')
      .then(res => res.json())
      .then(data => {
        setIsEnabled(data.flags.includes(flag));
      });
  }, [flag]);

  return isEnabled;
}

// Usage in component
function MyComponent() {
  const hasGPT5 = useFeatureFlag('ai_gpt5');

  return (
    <div>
      {hasGPT5 && <Badge>Powered by GPT-5</Badge>}
    </div>
  );
}
```

**2. Analytics Tracking (Frontend)**
```typescript
// lib/analytics.ts
export class FrontendAnalytics {
  static track(event: string, properties?: any) {
    // Send to backend
    fetch('/api/v1/analytics/track', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
      body: JSON.stringify({ event, properties }),
    });

    // Also send to PostHog directly (if configured)
    if (window.posthog) {
      window.posthog.capture(event, properties);
    }
  }

  static identify(userId: string, properties: any) {
    fetch('/api/v1/analytics/identify', {
      method: 'POST',
      body: JSON.stringify({ userId, properties }),
    });

    if (window.posthog) {
      window.posthog.identify(userId, properties);
    }
  }
}

// Usage
FrontendAnalytics.track('button_clicked', {
  buttonName: 'Track Feeding',
  location: 'homepage',
});
```

---
